PSG Get Strong Message Over Liverpool, Bayern Munich Stars

On the latest episode of After Foot, pundit Kevin Diaz stated that the Ligue 1 side need to ensure that they land Upamecano or Konaté if both decide not to sign contract extensions with their current clubs and look at other options.

“If I were a PSG supporter, I’d really like to see Konaté or Upamecano at PSG,” Diaz said (h/t Le10Sport). “That would be very good alongside Pacho. A French player, an international, a guy from the Paris region.

“Konaté has done some good things with Liverpool and would be a solid pickup, even if form has dipped a bit in recent months. Upamecano, on the other hand, is really at the top of his game right now.”

Nonetheless, fellow program pundit Florent Gautreau sees Upamecano eventually agreeing to a contract extension with Bayern Munich.

“For me, Upamecano is a negotiation with Bayern,” Gautreau said. “I see him more in a situation where he extends at Bayern, they have made an offer. After that, if I had a wish, it would be to see Upamecano at PSG, considering PSG’s needs. He is a very good player, and PSG have a need at that position. (…) Upamecano would be a great addition for Ligue 1 and for PSG if he came. That’s what I’m not sure about.”
