"According to Sky Sports in Germany, Real Madrid remain interested in signing Dayot Upamecano at the end of the season, but Bayern Munich are determined to keep the French defender long-term. Upamecano, who joined Bayern from RB Leipzig in 2021 for around €42 million, is currently under contract until 2026. The negotiations between the club and the player have progressed positively, with talks focused on a new deal that could extend his stay until 2030."
""Upa knows we want to extend with him as soon as possible. We've had very good discussions," he said. While Real Madrid are monitoring the situation as part of their long-term defensive strategy, Bayern's stance is clear-they aim to finalize the extension soon. The Spanish giants are now likely to move for Liverpool's Ibrahima Konate, also a free agent next summer, having reportedly given up on Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi."
