"Dayot Upamecano has surpassed Ibrahima Konaté in Real Madrid's priority list for the centre-back position next summer, with David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger on the way out. The Spanish side are aware of the stalling contract negotiations between Bayern and the Frenchman and would be willing to offer him the €20m he's demanding as a signing fee. Bayern, meanwhile, are determined to keep Upamecano and will continue to speak to him in order to reach a renewal agreement."
"Upamecano's situation with Bayern Munich is static. The club wants him back, the player seems to want to be back, but money is an issue. The latest reports indicate that Upamecano and Bayern Munich are close on a salary, but not on a bonus structure (rumors indicate Upamecano wants a significant signing bonus). There is plenty of time to get a deal done between Bayern Munich and Upamecano, but once January hits, things could open up for the Frenchman."
""We know Amorim wants to sign a midfielder in January. They need somebody who gets about the pitch, isn't afraid to put their foot in, has a drive and energy about him to make a difference all over the pitch. "But also somebody who can keep possession of the ball and help them advance up the pitch because at the moment they're relying very much on Bruno""
Real Madrid has prioritized Bayern Munich centre-back Dayot Upamecano over Liverpool's Ibrahima Konaté as a summer target, with David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger expected to depart. Talks between Bayern and Upamecano are stalled mainly over bonus demands, though salary talks are reportedly close, and Real Madrid could offer a €20m signing fee. Bayern remain intent on renewing the defender's contract, but January could change the situation. Manchester United have scouted Bayern midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic ahead of a possible January move, with scouts noting the need for a midfielder who combines energy, defensive grit, and ball-retention to support the team.
