"Dayot Upamecano has a contract with Bayern until the end of the season, but he has yet to agree to a new deal with the club. While the talks are still ongoing, no parties have found a long-term solution so far. The curious case of Ibrahima Konate Bayern have been checking on several defenders, in case Upamecano leaves the club. In recent months, Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate has emerged as an option for Bayern, with the G erman giants already having contacted the defender's representatives."
"Konate, like Upamecano, has a contract at Anfield until the end of the season, and while he has been offered a new deal, so far there has been no positive development. The Frenchman has hugely underperformed this season, and has come under strong criticism from fans and pundits, as Liverpool suffered a shock freefall from the lofty standards they set for themselves over the years."
"Bayern are maintaining all theor focus on securing a contract extension for Upamecano. That's their only priority. If the French defender signs a new deal with Bayern, they will not move for either Konate or Guehi. Do Bayern need a defender? There were talks about signing a replacement for Kim Min-jae, but Bayern are happy with how he has gradually improved under Vincent Kompany."
Dayot Upamecano has a contract with Bayern through the end of the season and contract talks remain unresolved. Bayern are exploring defensive options in case Upamecano departs, with Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate and Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi identified as targets. Konate also has a contract until season end and has been offered a new deal, but no agreement has materialised; his form this season has attracted heavy criticism. Real Madrid have reportedly told Liverpool they will not pursue Konate. Bayern’s primary objective is securing Upamecano’s extension; only if that fails will they seriously pursue Konate or Guehi. Bayern are content with Kim Min-jae’s improvement and the current centre-back rotations under Vincent Kompany.
