According to a report from Sport Bild’s Christian Falk and Tobi Altschäffl (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Real Madrid could be stalking the brewing situation between Bayern Munich and Dayot Upamecano. Currently at an impasse, the Frenchman will be a free agent next summer and is not involved in any talks with the Bavarians over a new deal at the moment:
Real Madrid are interested in signing Dayot Upamecano and are luring him with a lucrative contract to get him on a free transfer next summer, as they
previously did with David Alaba. Negotiations between Upamecano and FC Bayern are currently on hold. The player’s position is clear: If the club fails to further ‘accommodate’ him, from a financial point of view, then an agreement will likely be difficult.
For Upamecano, this is an important contract. In his prime, the center-back is among the top 10-20 players at his position in the world. If Bayern Munich cannot pay the premium for that, Real Madrid certainly appears ready to make it work.
Bayern Munich got off to a red-hot start this season and we are thrilled with the early returns. With the end of the transfer window coming up, there is still much to discuss, so let’s not waste any more time. This is what we have on tap for this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Flagship Show:
- It’s not quite the morning after, but let’s talk about Bayern Munich’s massive 6-0 win over RB Leipzig and what it means.
- Lennart Karl will have a great duo to study — the relentless energy and attacking aggression of Luis Diaz and the brilliant aloofness of Michael Olise.
- Can Serge Gnabry hold down the fort?
- Joshua Kimmich is a constant…and a necessity.
- The backline still needs a big test.
- Bayern Munich could miss out on Nick Woltemade in 2026 as the bidding could open up to other clubs.
- Bayern Munich might have the right approach, but the wrong PR campaign for its approach to finishing the transfer window.
