After failing to buy a centre-back in the summer, Liverpool is still looking to sign one in the forthcoming transfer window. The sporting director of Bayern Munich has provided an interesting update on Dayot Upamecano's future.

In the summer, Liverpool made significant purchases, bringing in players like Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen to Anfield and Alexander Isak from Newcastle in a Premier League record deal.

Although Arne Slot's team wants to win the Premier League again, they have struggled lately and are already seven points behind leaders Arsenal.

That might lead them to increase their interest in Dayot Upamecano, a defender for Bayern Munich, who sparked attention last month. According to Bayern director Max Eberl, clubs contacting his agent is "typical" when discussing a possible move.

Following Premier League interest, the Bayern director updates Upamecano's contract.


Max Eberl, the director of Bayern Munich, has stated that the Frenchman is in negotiations with the Bundesliga champions over Upamecano's future with the team.

"It is normal if other clubs are phoning his representatives; it is part of the game," he said following their Champions League victory over Paris Saint-Germain.

We want to try our hardest to complete the new contract, as I have already stated. We are working on it.

According to Sources, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool have all discussed the possibility of signing Upamecano when his contract expires at the end of the current campaign.

The French defender will be allowed to sign a pre-contract with a club outside of Germany by the end of the year, so intermediaries have been working hard on his behalf to assess his alternatives.

Although they will have to stave off interest from their top four competitors, Liverpool is keen on his talents, so a Premier League move is definitely not out of the question.

Although  StadiumNest is aware that Upamecano is aware of his possibilities and that English interest is strong, Bayern is still in negotiations with him in an attempt to keep him from leaving on a free agent.

This summer, Liverpool might have the best centre-back options.


When it comes to Liverpool's summer backline makeover, there are many moving components.

Since Ibrahima Konate, their own French defender, is also out of contract, Real Madrid is interested in signing him, something the Anfield team is also trying to resolve.

Additionally, there is interest in England defender Marc Guehi, whose deal was thwarted despite Liverpool and Crystal Palace agreeing on a £35 million fee on the day of the transfer deadline.

Guehi is another defender whose contract is up, and Liverpool may have the best option if Konate leaves, if they can make it to the Champions League following a stuttering season.

The Blues may try to sign Upamecano after Chelsea great John Obi Mikel said in the past that Chelsea will not win the Premier League with their present backline.

However, Arne Slot will have the added benefit of guaranteeing Upamecano minutes if Konate departs Liverpool, which might close a deal.

According to allegations that surfaced earlier today in various Madrid-based sites, Hansi Flick "was bored" of leading FC Barcelona and was thinking of quitting at the end of the current campaign.

According to the article, the German tactician has been considering leaving the Catalans in 2026 since September, even though his contract with them is set to expire in the summer of 2027.

The manager has previously stated on numerous occasions that he is quite content at the Catalan club and that his time there has been nothing but good since he joined the squad last year.
