Real Madrid Hit With Good News Amid PSG Target’s Uncertain Bayern Munich Future

PSG have made a habit of bringing in leading French prospects in recent windows, adding players like Bradley Barcola, Désiré Doué, and Lucas Chevalier. They appear ready to stay on that path as they look for defensive reinforcements.

Ibrahima Konaté has been mentioned as a possible target, though the club is also weighing another option at the heart of defense.

Dayot Upamecano is one name that has come up. Meanwhile, his deal with Bayern Munich runs until the summer of 2026, and PSG are said to be keeping an eye on how things develop.

A previous report from transfer insider Fabrizio Romano revealed that a move to the Ligue 1 side down the line could become realistic. Nonetheless, a move to Paris hinges on him deciding not to extend his contract, potentially opening the door to a free transfer.

According to Fichajes, Real Madrid is keeping a close eye on the situation and feels there’s a real chance to secure an early understanding with the French defender.

Moreover, the report notes that those around him sense his time at Bayern Munich could be nearing its end. Upamecano is said to be open to a fresh challenge, and the prospect of joining Real Madrid appeals to him, especially given the possibility of taking on an essential role in a back line preparing for renewal.
