"Upamecano has emerged as one of Liverpool's prime targets. The Bayern defender has started the season strongly, producing several top-class performances, including a virtuoso display in the Champions League against Chelsea. However, like Konate, his contract situation has remained unresolved. Upamecano has recently suggested that his agent is speaking with the German club over a possible new contract extension, but as of now, nothing has been fixed yet."
"According to Abendzeitung (via BuLinews), Upamecano is demanding a higher salary, somewhere in the region between €15-20 million annually. He wants to receive a similar pay package following the contract extensions of Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies (€15m/year)and Joshua Kimmich (€20m/year). Currently, he could earn up to €16m per year, but only if all his performance bonuses are triggered, and he wants a more competitive wage"
"Liverpool desperately need to sign a new centre-back, either in the January transfer window or next summer. The Reds still consider Guehi as their top target, but other clubs, including Bayern, have now turned their attention towards signing the Crystal Palace defender. Moreover, Ibrahima Konate has yet to sign a new deal at Anfield and could leave the club on a free transfer next summer."
Dayot Upamecano will become a free agent next summer and has not signed a new contract with Bayern Munich. Liverpool and Real Madrid are showing interest in signing the French centre-back. Liverpool view Upamecano as a prime target following a failed pursuit of Marc Guehi and amid uncertainty over Ibrahima Konate's contract at Anfield. Upamecano has produced several strong performances this season, including in the Champions League against Chelsea. His agent is in talks with Bayern, and Upamecano is seeking a salary in the €15–20 million annual range to match recent teammate extensions.
