Recent reports suggested a verbal agreement between Real Madrid and Dayot Upamecano, but the latest updates indicate otherwise. The French defender, who joined Bayern Munich in the summer of 2021, is nearing the end of his contract, which expires next June. This puts him squarely on Real Madrid’s radar, as acquiring a player of his caliber without a transfer fee is an enticing prospect for any club.
Despite the speculation surrounding Upamecano’s potential move to Madrid, he has yet to extend his stay in Bavaria. The 27-year-old has been in discussions with Bayern over a new contract for several months now. As is often the case with such negotiations, Real Madrid will have to bide their time before making a decisive move. If Upamecano does not sign an extension by January, he could become open to approaches from other clubs.
Negotiations Progressing for Upamecano
According to Sky Sports Germany, negotiations between Upamecano and Bayern are reportedly progressing positively. The former Valenciennes player could potentially extend his contract by four or five years, a development that would complicate Real Madrid’s pursuit. This contradicts earlier reports of a verbal agreement with Los Blancos, suggesting that the French international remains committed to finding common ground with his current club.
Real Madrid’s Cautious Approach
Real Madrid’s interest in Upamecano is concrete, yet they remain cautious. The club is prepared to act if negotiations between the player and Bayern falter. Notably, this isn’t the first time Madrid has eyed a player from Bayern; their previous attempt to sign Alphonso Davies ended unsuccessfully when he extended his contract last February. Now, Madrid finds itself hoping for a different outcome but faces an uphill battle as Sky Sports’ reliable sources indicate that Upamecano is likely to stay put in Germany.
As the situation unfolds, Real Madrid fans will be keeping a close eye on developments regarding Upamecano’s future. Will he remain in Munich or make a switch to Spain? The coming months will reveal if Los Blancos can secure this talented defender or if they will need to explore other options.
