Reporter: Real Madrid has reached a verbal agreement with Upamecano, Konate is no longer a priority

6686 Sports News on November 6 According to a report by "Foot Mercato" reporter Santi Aouna, Real Madrid has reached a verbal agreement with Upamecano, and Konate is no longer Real Madrid's priority.

In order to seek reinforcements for the defense, Real Madrid is taking action to introduce the French international Pamecano. Although Real Madrid has not completely given up on Konate's signing, it is no longer a priority.

Real Madrid has been carefully examining Konate in recent weeks. Real Madrid executives hope to further strengthen the defense and prepare for the possible departure of Alaba and Rudiger when their contracts expire in June 2026. Real Madrid hoped to sign an experienced defender of the right age, so they took a fancy to Konate. Konate's advantage is that he will become a free agent next June and can be obtained without a visa.

Liverpool has submitted a new contract extension offer to Konate. Although he has long been considered a priority signing target for Real Madrid, according to reliable sources, Konate is no longer Real Madrid's first choice, although he himself intends to join Los Blancos. Real Madrid's number one signing target has become Pamecano.

According to exclusive news, Upamecano, whose contract with Bayern will expire in June, has even reached a verbal agreement with Real Madrid. His technical characteristics, competition experience and visa-free status at the end of the season make him a perfect candidate in the eyes of Real Madrid management. He also has the advantage of being familiar with many French players in Real Madrid's squad. Xavi Alonso, who played against him in the Bundesliga, also knows him well. Upamecano, who is also closely watched by Paris Saint-Germain, currently also holds a contract extension offer from Bayern, but the two sides have not yet reached an agreement.
