Daily Schmankerl: Is Bayern Munich worried about Dayot Upamecano leaving?; A spring deadline at BVB for Nico Schlotterbeck?; Napoli wants to keep Rasmus Højlund; FC Barcelona to add a winger?; Joshua Kimmich talks Germany’s ‘spine’; and MORE!

Upamecano will be entitled to speak to potentially interested overseas clubs about a Bosman deal in January and according to Graeme Bailey in TBR Football Liverpool will be in the mix.

“Speaking to sources at a couple of Premier League clubs, they actually believe Upamecano is more likely to stay than leave, but I can tell you Bayern are really worried that Upamecano will have offers presented to him in early 2026 if an agreement with Bayern is not reached,” he says.

“And Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City are all very much in the mix for him, they all rate him highly.”
