According to reporter Falke, Chelsea and Real Madrid are competing for Pamecano, and Bayern wants to keep the French central defender.

Pamecano's contract with Bayern expires at the end of this season. He has not yet signed a contract extension, and the future is full of uncertainty. Reporter Falk said that Chelsea intends to waive the signing of the French defender next summer. The Blues are considering selling Disasi next summer and regard Pamecano as a replacement for the central defender position.

However, Chelsea need to be wary of attention from Real Madrid. Although negotiations between Bayern and Upamecano are still ongoing, and the defender is also enjoying his life in Germany, the threat from Real Madrid is imminent. Falk said that the contract renewal negotiations between Bayern and Upamecano have not yet achieved a major breakthrough, and the signing fee is still a big issue. Alphonso Davis received a signing fee of close to 20 million euros, and Upamecano also wanted a considerable fee.

If Guey joins as a free agent, Bayern will also need to pay a signing fee. Therefore, Bayern's senior management is having intense discussions on this. Upamecano is already a high-paid defender in Germany, so it is difficult to add an additional signing fee that may be considerable. In any case, Bayern are still engaged in fruitful negotiations and Upamecano may consider staying at the club, but ultimately it will be a matter of money.

By the way, Upamecano has surpassed Konate and become Real Madrid's priority signing target. The player agent team headed by Moussa Sissoko is putting pressure on Bayern during negotiations. Upamecano would be a good deal for Real Madrid, who have been looking for free defenders because they don't want to spend money on these players.

Both Alaba and Rudiger joined Real Madrid without a visa, so these players are Real Madrid's favorite targets. If they can get one of Upamecano and Konate, they will be very happy, but what if they can get both at the same time? They will be even happier because both Alaba and Rudiger are about to leave, so they need defenders.

Bayern really wants Upamecano to stay at the club, and they hope to reach a solution. The Bundesliga giants are most likely to sell Kim Min-jae next summer, but if Upamecano leaves freely, they may change their plans. At present, it seems that Real Madrid is serious about signing Upamecano, and the signing list has surpassed Konate, which should be good news for Liverpool.
