Bayern Munich is determined to retain its top defender and will continue to hold talks throughout the season. The problems are the Frenchman's wage demands and the disagreement over a buyout clause. However, the club must act quickly as teams outside of the Bundesliga can open talks with the 26-year-old in January and offer a pre-contract to move for free at the end of June 2026.

Dayot Upamecano One of Three Free Agent Targets

Bayern Munich is determined to retain its top defender and will continue to hold talks throughout the season. The problems are the Frenchman's wage demands and the disagreement over a buyout clause. However, the club must act quickly as teams outside of the Bundesliga can open talks with the 26-year-old in January and offer a pre-contract to move for free at the end of June 2026.

The two other players are both center-backs and play in the Premier League. The mentioned Ibrahima Konate of Liverpool and Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi both have entered the final year of their contracts, and both are involved in a transfer triangle.

Guehi was close to joining Liverpool on the final day of the summer transfer window, but a deal fell through in the closing hours. It could have been a deal that meant Konate would join Liverpool in the future, and that could still happen in the summer.

Out of the three players, it seems likely that one will be wearing the white shirt of Real Madrid next season. That appears to be Konate, who is said to have declined two new contract offers in 2025.
