Real Madrid and Barcelona are stepping up plans for Bayern Munich defender Dayot Upamecano.

Off contract in June, the France international has so far resisted Bayern attempts to discuss new terms.

TMW says Upmecano is fielding interest from across Europe and can commit to a pre-contract with any foreign club from January 1.

In Spain, Real and Barca are now intensifying their pursuit of Upamecano, with both giants spying a bargain basement opportunity.

Real see Upamecano as a potential replacement for veteran Toni Rudiger, while at Barca they remain in the market for a new centre-half after allowing Inigo Martinez to leave for Al-Nassr.
