And, speaking via the BILD Podcast, Falk gave an insight into what’s happening with Upamecano’s future at the moment.

“Upamecano still hasn’t signed, and our theory is that the extension for Upamecano is down to money,” he said.“That’s true, true, and you have to say, things are really starting to get difficult.“We reported Liverpool’s interest in the last episode. I also know PSG is interested, Real Madrid is interested, United is interested.”“Therefore, extending is Bayern’s top priority, but they simply don’t want to agree on the price.”Liverpool have a fair few decisions to make as we get closer to the January transfer windowSeeing as though Giovanni Leoni is now confirmed to be out for at least a year, it’s clear that the Reds are short at centre-back.

As the January transfer window edges closer, the likelihood of Liverpool signing a new centre-back feels like it’s growing. At the moment, it’s unclear what will happen over the next few months, but even though Liverpool don’t want to sign Guehi in January, plans can change, and at the moment, that feels like the best thing for them to do.
