Real Madrid are reportedly eyeing Bayern Munich defender Dayot Upamecano should they be unable to secure Ibrahima Konaté’s signature next summer.
Although Real Madrid already bolstered their defense this summer, signing Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen and Álvaro Carreras, the Spanish giants are still in the market for an additional center back. With David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger expected to leave the club upon the expiry of their contracts in June, Los Blancos will need additional defensive depth.
It is no secret Liverpool’s Konaté is at the top of Real Madrid’s wishlist. The Frenchman even jokingly revealed Kylian Mbappé is pressuring him to make the move to the Spanish capital once he becomes a free agent next summer.
Except now, there is seemingly another defender on Real Madrid’s radar. According to , Xabi Alonso’s side is interested in Upamecano, who is also in the final 12 months of his contract.
