RB Leipzig’s defender Dayot Upamecano has been linked with every major club in Europe with Liverpool tipped to bag the future star but a new report from RMC reporter Loic Tanzi has stated otherwise.
The French defender has been playing well for the German club in both the Bundesliga and the Champions League. This raised the interests of Premier League clubs Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool with Chelsea and Liverpool the most serious in their pursuit according to Fabrizio Romano.
Manchester United have never been in advanced talks to sign Upamecano – always been appreciated but ‘unlikely’. He’s the main target for Bayern Münich prepared to pay the release clause, Chelsea and Liverpool are still in the race. Also PSG interest now cooled down 🔴 #mufc

The 22 year old is a top European prospect and should be available for as little as €42.5m according to a report from the Guardian. He will be a possible replacement for David Alaba with the Austrian defender looking like he’s on the way out of the Munich club.
Dayot Upamecano a choisi son prochain club. Ce sera le Bayern Munich sauf retournement de situation. Un accord a été trouvé. Le Bayern va payer la clause du joueur à Leipzig #Mercato #RMCLive

Liverpool fans will be upset to see they aren’t strengthening the defence even further after their recent grow in injuries.
Will this be a good signing for Bayern?
