Real Madrid Agrees with Upamecano
French media reports have revealed that Real Madrid has reached a verbal agreement with French defender Dayot Upamecano, a player for Bayern Munich, in preparation for signing him if he does not renew his contract with the Bavarian club.
According to French journalist Santi Aouna, Upamecano's contract expires at the end of the current season, and the player has not yet reached an agreement with Bayern Munich regarding an extension, which opens the door for his potential departure for free next summer.
At the same time, the idea of signing French defender Ibrahima Konaté is still on the table at Real Madrid, but it is no longer a priority at the moment, especially after the recent developments regarding Upamecano.
The source indicated that Konaté is exerting pressure behind the scenes to move to Real Madrid, especially with the royal club's interest in signing him for some time now.
Real Madrid's interest in strengthening their defense comes as the management seeks to bolster the backline for the upcoming seasons, especially given the numerous injuries and the aging of some key players.
