PSG ready to make an offer for Real Madrid defensive target – report | OneFootball

Dayot Upamecano has become a man in demand in the transfer market, given that his contract at Bayern Munich stands to expire at the end of the season.

The French international has been brilliant so far this season for Vincent Kompany’s team, attracting serious interest from several other top clubs across Europe, with Real Madrid being one among them.

The Merengues see Upamecano as one of their key targets ahead of a possible defensive overhaul, with both Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba staring at an uncertain future.

PSG ready to step in

However, according to RMC Sport, Paris Saint-Germain have also entered the race for Upamecano, and are ready to make an offer if he decides not to renew with Bayern Munich.

The Bavarian giants continue to negotiate actively with the player’s representatives, determined to secure his long-term future after signing him in 2021.

However, if no agreement is reached, PSG are ready to step in with a formal proposal. It must be noted that, from January 1, 2026, Upamecano would be free to sign a pre-contract with any club of his choosing.

The report further states despite Real Madrid testing waters over a move, the reigning French and European champions remain the strongest suitor for Upamecano at the moment.

Currently in France to play for the national team, Upamecano gave a measured response when asked about the interest from PSG – neither closing the door nor opening it fully.

“Paris Saint-Germain is a very, very big club, with a great coach and magnificent players. But for now, my mind isn’t on that,” he said.

“I’m focused on Bayern Munich and the French national team. The season is still long, and I have an agent for that. I’m concentrating on Bayern Munich, and I hope we can achieve our goals for the end of the season.”

With Bayern Munich sparing no efforts to renew Upamecano and now PSG also entering the picture, Real Madrid have their task cut out if they intend to bring the Frenchman to the Santiago Bernabeu.
