Liverpool could miss out on the transfer of Bayern Munich centre-back Dayot Upamecano, whose agent is currently in meetings with Real Madrid.
This is according to journalist Indy Kaila, who claims that the French international’s representatives are currently meeting with Real Madrid officials.
This is despite Upamecano also being linked with Liverpool, as was recently reported exclusively here via the Daily Briefing, as well as numerous other media outlets.

Upamecano could be a superb signing for Real on a free transfer, with the 27-year-old having performed at an exceptionally high level for Bayern in recent years.
Dayot Upamecano transfer update could be mixed news for Liverpool
Upamecano’s move to Real over Liverpool may not be entirely bad news for the Reds due to their own situation with Ibrahima Konate arriving towards the end of his contract.
Konate has been a key player in LFC’s defense in recent times, and it remains to be seen whether he will sign a new deal.
However, if Los Blancos discuss signing Upamecano, it could mean Konate won’t get the chance to move to the Bernabeu, which could therefore persuade him to put pen to paper on a new deal at Anfield.
As reported in the Daily Briefing, there have been concerns over Konate’s future of late, with Madrid eyeing him after also considering Arsenal’s William Saliba until he eventually signed a new contract at the Emirates Stadium.
Upamecano is another solid option for Real though, so it will be interesting to see if Konate ends up with any other potential suitors in the coming weeks and months.
