"As Liverpool continue to evaluate their defensive options, Dayot Upamecano has emerged as a serious target for the Reds on a free transfer next summer. The Bayern Munich centre-back, 26, whose contract with Bayern is set to expire then, is now believed to be on Liverpool's radar, according to Rousing The Kop. With Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate already established in the heart of defense, Liverpool seem intent on strengthening their back-line depth and ensuring competition, should any departures or form dips occur."
"Upamecano joined Bayern Munich from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2021, and since then, has made over 150 appearances in all major competitions for the Bundesliga giants, contributing around five goals. The French defender has been a pillar of the Bayern Munich defense for a long time but contract talks with the German champions have stalled and he could be available for move in the summer transfer window next year."
"Upamecano has publicly expressed comfort at Munich, and both the player and his agent have been in talks with Bayern towards a contract renewal. Still, if Bayern fail to agree on new terms, speculation will likely intensify. Given his consistent performances and popularity among fans, Bayern would prefer to avoid losing him on a free, especially given their recent tendency to see key players depart."
Dayot Upamecano is a potential Liverpool target for a free transfer next summer as his Bayern Munich contract expires. Upamecano joined Bayern from RB Leipzig in 2021 and has made over 150 appearances, scoring around five goals. Bayern and the player have held contract renewal talks, but negotiations have stalled and he could leave if no agreement is reached. Liverpool already field Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate as first-choice centre-backs but seek greater depth amid Konate's contract uncertainty and refusal to sign a new deal. A free transfer would allow Liverpool to add a proven centre-back without a fee.
