While Bayern’s priority is to tie Upamecano – Konate’s France teammate and former centre-back partner at RB Leipzig – to a new contract, if that is not possible they intend to target Liverpool’s No. Journalist Tobi Altschaffl further claims that Konate’s agent has held talks with both Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
