Having followed Ibrahima Konate closely for the majority of the season so far, it appears Real Madrid have recently shifted their preferences. Instead of Liverpool defender Konate, Real Madrid have set their sights on his compatriot Dayot Upamecano, whose contract at Bayern Munich expires at the end of the season.
Upamecano is regarded highly in the Real Madrid camp, with recent reports suggesting that Konate is no longer a priority for Los Blancos. This is now confirmed by Sky Sports’ Sacha Tavolieri, who suggests that Real Madrid are indeed closely tracking the progress of Dayot Upamecano.
The Spanish giants are aware that they could be awarded a market opportunity should Upamecano fail to negotiate a deal with Bayern Munich. The Bavarians, for their part, are keen on keeping hold of the French international, who had joined the club RB Leipzig in 2021.
