Journalist Santi Aouna revealed that Real Madrid has reached a verbal agreement with French defender Dayot Upamecano in preparation for signing him in the near future, as part of the club's efforts to strengthen its defense.

According to the source, Real Madrid informed the player of their readiness to meet all his personal demands, taking advantage of the approaching end of his contract with Bayern Munich, which expires at the end of the current season, giving him the freedom to negotiate with other clubs.

According to the German newspaper "Bild," Upamecano demands an annual salary of 20 million euros, in addition to a signing bonus of 20 million euros, if his transfer to the Royal Club is completed.

Real Madrid's interest in the French defender comes as the management seeks to strengthen the backline with experienced and high-quality players, especially after the recurring injuries that have affected the team's defense during the current season.

It is worth mentioning that Paris Saint-Germain is interested in signing the player, and the Bavarian club has also offered the player a new contract.
