Real Madrid beats Inter Milan to win Bayern Munich’s Dayot Upamecano

Real Madrid has taken the lead in the race to sign Dayot Upamecano, with Bayern Munich open to negotiating the French defender’s departure. The 26-year-old is under contract until the end of next season but has shown no interest in renewing, putting him on the transfer market radar.

Inter’s plan to reinforce defense

Inter Milan had identified Upamecano as a priority signing to strengthen their back line this summer. The Nerazzurri view the defender as a strategic addition to maintain their competitive level, with coach and board aligned on the need for reinforcements.

Madrid enters the competition

However, Real Madrid’s entry into the race has shifted the balance. The Spanish giants are closely monitoring the situation, with Bayern’s willingness to sell preventing a free departure in 2026. According to Transfermarkt, the defender’s market value is around €50 million (R$317 million).

Other clubs in the picture

Upamecano has also been linked with Manchester United and other European contenders, increasing competition and potentially raising the transfer price. Bayern, aware of his contract situation, is prepared to listen to offers in this window.
