Liverpool Star 'in Talks' With Bayern Munich Amid Real Madrid 'Agreement'

One Liverpool star is reportedly in talks with Bayern Munich amid apparent interest from Real Madrid.

During the summer transfer window, Liverpool broke their own transfer record twice after spending £116 million on Florian Wirtz before completing a £125 million deal to sign Alexander Isak.

The likes of Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Giovanni Leoni and Freddie Woodman were also brought in.

However, Liverpool's transfer window had a disappointing end following the collapse of the deal to bring Marc Guehi to Anfield.

Crystal Palace pulled the plug on the transfer after failing to find a suitable replacement for their captain.

It remains to be seen whether Liverpool will reignite their interest in Guehi later on in the season.

Guehi was tipped as a potential replacement for Ibrahima Konate, who has been heavily linked with a move away from Anfield.

As things stand, Konate, 26, will leave Liverpool at the end of the 25/26 season as his contract is set to expire.

It has been recently claimed by Football Insider that the Frenchman is close to reaching an agreement with La Liga giants Madrid.

However, this week, it emerged from Foot Mercato that current Bayern star Dayot Upamecano has 'verbally agreed' to join Madrid.

As a result, Bayern have turned to Konate as a potential replacement for Upamecano.

According to German news outlet BILD, Konate 'is an option for Bayern if Upamecano leaves the club' and the Bavarians have already made contact with the player's camp.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are looking to convince the defender to extend his stay on Merseyside.

Since joining Liverpool from RB Leipzig back in 2021, Konate has made 147 appearances for the Reds, scoring six goals.

He has won the Premier League and two League Cups, among other trophies.

The Frenchman will be a big loss for Liverpool if he does leave in the summer as he has formed a great partnership with club captain Virgil van Dijk at the heart of the defence.

Konate and Liverpool will be back in Premier League action on Sunday afternoon when they take on Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
