Upamecano has gone on to be a good center-back for Bayern Munich, operating at a high level, but there has been nothing to suggest that Konate was the wrong pick at Anfield, even if he early season form has been somewhat shaky. Konate was poor against Crystal Palace, and it is often leveled at the Liverpool man that he needs Virgil van Dijk alongside him to excel.

This week, it was Upamecano's turn to be linked with Liverpool (at some point, Konate will presumably be touted as an option for Bayern Munich). "It’s no big secret that we have a strong desire to extend his contract." At Liverpool, talks have also taken place with Konate's representatives, though nothing is agreed yet, and the more time passes before that changes, the bigger the feeling that he could be on the move will grow.

Upamecano was this week; Konate and Guehi will soon have their turn in the coming months. Liverpool.com says: Konate would ideally sign a new contract at Anfield as there are not loads of elite center-back options out there.
