Bayern Munich are reportedly \u201creally worried\u201d for the future of one of their stars, with Liverpool the most intriguing name on his list of suitors given they could exact revenge through a transfer.<\/p>\n
The Reds are looking at the centre-back position as their next big area of spending. They shelled around \u00a3450million in the summer \u2013 the bulk of it going in the final third \u2013 and that was set to be more before Marc Guehi\u2019s transfer fell through.<\/p>\n
The Crystal Palace centre-back remains on Liverpool<\/a>\u2018s radar but there are other huge clubs in the mix for him, so it\u2019s not a certainty that he\u2019ll land at Anfield despite his current club knowing he\u2019ll be making a free transfer somewhere at the end of the campaign.<\/p>\n As a result of uncertainty over Guehi, Liverpool have Bayern Munich\u2019s Dayot Upamecano<\/a> in their sights, and the Bundesliga giants are fearful of losing him.<\/p>\n TBRFootball<\/a> insider Graeme Bailey has said: \u201cWe really have a fascinating summer looming, given some of potential big name free agents that might be available, and especially in the centre-half market.<\/p>\n \u201cIn England we are thinking and talking about Marc Guehi, but in Europe the name many are talking about is French star Dayot Upamecano \u2013 who has really been looking the part at Bayern Munich under Vincent Kompany.<\/p>\n \u201cSpeaking to sources at a couple of Premier League clubs, they actually believe Upamecano is more likely to stay than leave, but I can tell you Bayern are really worried that Upamecano will have offers presented to him in early 2026 if an agreement with Bayern is not reached.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City are all very much in the mix for him, they all rate him highly.\u201d<\/p>\n DON\u2019T MISS<\/strong>:\u00a0\ud83d\udd34\u00a0Slot\u2019s new-look Liverpool line-up could spell the end for Salah \u2013 and Florian Wirtz is the BIG winner<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Liverpool could exact revenge<\/strong><\/p>\n Liverpool have essentially been chastised for letting Luis Diaz leave for Bayern after he was directly involved in 25 goals for the Reds last season. He already has 11 goal contributions to his name at Bayern.<\/p>\n Gabby Agbonlahor said of late: \u201cI mean four losses in a row [for Liverpool], Diaz is in the form of his life at Bayern Munich by the way.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was unbelievable against Dortmund. And you look at that decision to let him go, and then you spend \u00a3116 million on [Florian] Wirtz. It\u2019s not working.\u201d<\/p>\n For Bayern\u2019s part in the Reds now looking silly, Arne Slot could get his revenge by landing Upamecano for nothing, getting a transfer right after getting one with Bayern wrong.<\/p>\n Diaz is one of Bayern\u2019s top-rated players this season, with a 7.68 SofaScore<\/a> rating \u2013 Upamecano\u2019s is not too far behind at 7.05.<\/p>\n As such, it\u2019s evident why the Bundesliga giants don\u2019t want to lose their centre-back, but they might not have a choice if they can\u2019t tie him down to a new deal.<\/p>\n There has been consistent reporting that there\u2019s yet to be a breakthrough in contract talks for Upamecano, so the chances of Liverpool or their aforementioned Premier League rivals landing him are very much existent for now.<\/p>\n Liverpool round-up: Dowman move on?<\/strong><\/p>\n Though Arsenal youngster Max Dowman has agreed to scholarship terms, transfer insider Bailey has suggested it does nothing to stop \u201ca Chelsea or Liverpool from, in theory, taking him in January<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Fellow Premier League player Antoine Semenyo is being pursued by the Reds<\/a>, with Manchester United and Tottenham previously having seen \u00a350million bids turned down.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Jeff Stelling has told the Reds they are currently missing Jordan Henderson<\/a>, who left the club a couple of years ago.<\/p>\n
