Max Eberl stated that Dayot Upamecano has options. The biggest clubs in Europe are among the interested parties, including FC Liverpool.

Liverpool is intensively monitoring Dayot Upamecano, who is considering a long-term move to the Premier League. Such a move could be made possible by a release clause that is being discussed in his potential new Bayern contract.

Dayot Upamecano's contract with Bayern Munich expires in eight months, and an agreement has not been reached to extend his stay. According to Graeme Bailey, via TBR Football, Upamecano is more likely than not to stay at Bayern, although there are fears that he will not sign a new contract. Graeme Bailey stated that Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City are all interested in him and they all have a high opinion of him. Bailey also reported that Bayern are concerned that Upamecano will have offers presented to him in early 2026 if an agreement with the club is not reached.

According to German outlet Bild, Chelsea are competing with Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Inter Milan for Dayot Upamecano. It is reported that Bayern are involved in a complex situation regarding the defender's future as they have not yet met his wage demands for a new contract. The club values Upamecano at €60 million (£52m / $69.5m) but face an increasing risk of him leaving on a free transfer next summer. While several clubs are pursuing Upamecano, his current preference is to sign a contract extension at Bayern.

According to Mark Brus, Liverpool have a shortlist of seven potential centre-back targets. The list includes Crystal Palace’s Marc Guéhi, Nottingham Forest’s Murillo, RB Leipzig’s Castello Lukeba, Dayot Upamecano of Bayern Munich, Barcelona’s Ronald Araújo, Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite and Newcastle United’s Sven Botman.

According to German journalist Florian Plettenberg, Liverpool has shown serious interest in Dayot Upamecano. Both Upamecano's and Marc Guehi's contracts end in summer 2026. There is a possibility that Upamecano could become a free agent next summer, which would allow Liverpool to sign him without a transfer fee. Liverpool scouts have been monitoring him since his time at Salzburg. Upamecano is reportedly considering continuing his career in Munich due to increased competition in defense, and it remains open whether Bayern will attempt to extend cooperation with him or accept his departure.

Sky Germany reports that several major clubs have shown interest in Upamecano, including Liverpool, who could take advantage of the stalled contract talks to try to attract the defender.

Liverpool are interested in Upamecano, but with strong competition expected, they are exploring alternative options as a contingency. Transfer insider Dean Jones told TEAMtalk on 10 October that Upamecano is currently viewed as plan B for Liverpool.

According to Sky Sports' Florian Plettenberg, Liverpool FC is closely following the dossier of Dayot Upamecano. The club is searching for a replacement due to the risk of losing Ibrahim Konaté on a free transfer. For the centre-back position, Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace is also an option, but the competition for him is immense. Upamecano's name is also highlighted as a candidate at Anfield. The defender is in his last contract year and can negotiate with other clubs for a free transfer from January onwards.

Sources have told TEAMtalk that Liverpool plan to make a formal approach for Bayern Munich defender Dayot Upamecano in the January transfer window in an effort to bring him to Anfield in 2026. Upamecano, whose contract at Bayern is out at the end of the season, is on €10million per year, which is approximately €200,000 or £174,000 per week. According to TEAMtalk’s transfer insider, Dean Jones, Liverpool will formally make an approach if Upamecano does not sign a new deal with Bayern by January. Jones stated that if there is no agreement on a Bayern deal by the New Year, Liverpool are expected to more formally show their interest in the player.

BILD acknowledges Liverpool's interest in Dayot Upamecano. The club's interest reportedly stems from growing fears they might miss out on Marc Guehi for a second time.

Liverpool have been linked with Dayot Upamecano, but Dean Jones has been told that there is nothing progressive or active on that front at the moment.

Tuttomercato reports that Liverpool want to strengthen their defence and are considering Dayot Upamecano for next season. The report adds that there has already been attention from a Premier League club, in particular Liverpool.

According to Football Insider, Liverpool are stepping up their quest to land Dayot Upamecano. Their report claims the player is 'now being spoken about with a move to Liverpool' and has 'a lot of qualities that would benefit the Reds'. Liverpool scouts are now 'evaluating the player' to decide if he would be the perfect replacement for Konate. The defender is reportedly one of four central defensive targets the Reds were monitoring ahead of the 2026 windows. Liverpool believe the offer of regular first-team football can help them win the chase for the player, and Slot and Co will be 'confident' of signing him should they make an approach.

According to German journalist Christian Falk, he has heard that Real Madrid is very interested in Dayot Upamecano. The defender is also on the list at Manchester United and PSG. Falk also said that things have gone quiet regarding Upamecano's contract talks with Bayern, which could be dangerous for the club.

Liverpool are reportedly considering signing Bayern Munich centre-back Dayot Upamecano to fill the void that Ibrahima Konate could leave. According to Bundesliga transfer journalist Christian Falk, Liverpool are taking a ‘long, hard look’ at Upamecano. Falk told CF Bayern Insider it is true that Liverpool are looking at the defender, and added that Bayern have been trying to give Upamecano a new contract for months, with talks lasting for what he thinks is almost a year.

Dayot Upamecano has made his demands clear to Bayern Munich amid interest from Liverpool manager Arne Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes, according to a report. Bild reports that manager Slot and sporting director Hughes are eyeing the defender for a signing next summer. According to Sports Boom, while talks between Upamecano’s camp and Bayern are ongoing, the defender’s wage demands are a potential stumbling block. The report claims the Frenchman wants a significant wage increase to match the likes of Joshua Kimmich and Jamal Musiala, and also wants a release clause of £125million (€143m, $167.5m) in his contract.

Liverpool are reportedly planning to make a move for Bayern Munich central defender Dayot Upamecano in the January transfer window, according to journalist Ekrem Konur. Konur posted on X that Liverpool are planning a January move for the defender, whose contract runs until 2026. The expected fee is between €35M and €45M.

According to the 'Bild' podcast 'Bayern Insider', Liverpool are considering a possible free transfer for Dayot Upamecano next summer. At Anfield, Upamecano is expected to replace his compatriot Ibrahima Konaté if necessary, as Konaté's contract also expires at the end of the season.

Dayot Upamecano, a 26-year-old French centre-back at Bayern Munich, has emerged as a serious target for Liverpool for a free transfer next summer when his contract expires. According to Rousing The Kop, Liverpool have the defender on their radar as they seek to strengthen their defensive depth, a need potentially heightened as Ibrahima Konaté has reportedly refused to sign a new deal at Anfield. Contract talks between Upamecano and the German champions have stalled, potentially making him available in the next summer transfer window. While Upamecano has publicly expressed his comfort in Munich and has been in renewal talks with the club alongside his agent, Bayern's failure to agree new terms would likely intensify speculation. The club would prefer not to lose the popular player on a free, but his contract situation presents an opportunity for Liverpool to sign a defender without a transfer fee. The defender, with a market value of €50.00m according to Transfermarkt, has also been linked with other top European clubs, including Real Madrid, Manchester United, and FC Barcelona.
