"However, if Los Blancos are holding talks over signing Upamecano, it could mean that Konate won't get the chance to move to the Bernabeu, which might therefore persuade him to put pen to paper on a new deal at Anfield instead. As reported on the Daily Briefing, there have been concerns about Konate's future in recent times, with Madrid looking at him after also considering Arsenal's William Saliba until he ended up signing a new contract at the Emirates Stadium."
"Liverpool could reportedly be set to miss out on the transfer of Bayern Munich centre-back Dayot Upamecano, whose agent is in a meeting with Real Madrid right now. That's according to journalist Indy Kaila, who says the France international's representatives are currently meeting with Real Madrid officials. This is despite Upamecano also being linked with Liverpool, as reported exclusively here via the Daily Briefing recently, along with numerous other outlets."
Dayot Upamecano's agent is meeting with Real Madrid officials as the centre-back nears the end of his Bayern Munich contract. The France international has been linked with Liverpool but now appears to be leaning toward Real Madrid. Upamecano would be available on a free transfer after his contract expires and has performed at a high level for Bayern in recent seasons. Real Madrid pursuing Upamecano could block Ibrahima Konate's potential move to the Bernabeu. Konate's contract situation at Liverpool remains unresolved and a Madrid move being unavailable might encourage him to sign a new deal at Anfield. Upamecano represents another strong defensive option for Real.
