We have multiple stories on Upamecano's contract situation. To recap, the French defender is under contract at Bayern through the end of the season and has not signed a new deal. There have been a lot of talks behind the scenes to reach an agreement, and Bayern were confident at one point that a deal would be struck. Bayern have set a deadline for Upamecano to come to a decision, but as it stands, there has been no breakthrough.
Liverpool are considering making a move for Sunderland defender Lutsharel Geertruida, who is at the Stadium of Light from RB Leipzig on loan. Fabrizio Romano reports the Reds could either look to take over the 25-year-old's loan agreement, or sign him permanently. Geertruida was Arne Slot's captain at Feyenoord, and can play either right back or center back, two positions in which Liverpool have struggled to cover in recent weeks.
