A wild transfer phase will be bought in the central defender position next season. FC Bayern Munich is also involved.
Munich-As soon as the transfer window of the current season is closed, the first speculations for the coming summer are already appearing. So also at Real Madrid, who therefore want to rebuild strongly for the next season in central defense. FC Bayern Munich also plays a role in the plans of the royal.
How SPOX reports, neither the former Bavaria star David Alaba nor the German international Antonio Rüdiger play a role in squad planning for 2026. Both are in the last year of their contracts, which apparently should not be extended by the Champions League record winner.
Real Madrid is targeting Bayern’s Dayot Upamecano
Instead, the Madrilenen focus is on two other defenders: Liverpools Ibrahima Konate and Dayot Upamecano from FC Bayern Munich. The two Frenchmen would be free of charge in the coming summer. FCB fans are probably allowed to take a deep breath: According to information from Spanish sports newspaper As The royal attention is primarily to Konate.
According to this, the 26-year-old, together with Eder Militao, Raul Ascencio and newcomer Dean Huijsen, will in future form the central defense of the Madrilenen. If the transfer occurs, the signs between Upamecano and Bayern should be on the contract extension. Both parties have been in discussions since winter, and an agreement has not yet been achieved.
As the Bild reports, new negotiations are currently underway. In addition, the contract’s brain defender was assigned the highest priority of the brain defender of Bavaria. Real Madrids’ elimination as possible competitors around Upamecano, who recently raved about one of his teammates, will definitely not hurt the undertaking by Max Eberl and Co.
Furthermore, however, the central defender situation at Liverpool FC remains interesting for the Munich. FC Bayern is interested in the planned Konate substitute Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace, whose change on the Deadline Day failed on the last few meters. Depending on how the contract negotiations run around Konate and Upamecano, this personnel at FCB could continue to focus on the season. (seb)
