Dayot Upamecano can easily leave RB Leipzig looking for greater opportunities, with Manchester United among the clubs connected to him. Given their talent, it’s no surprise that several clubs are interested in their services. But for now, he prefers to focus on his commitment to RBL rather than thinking about a movement imaginable outside the Red Bull Arena.
Interest in Upamecano remains even after signing a new lease with RBL in July, which agreed to a three-year, $58 million contract, but that delayed discussions about the transfer. I absolutely derail an exit from the Red Bull Arena in the future.
“Right now I’m with Leipzig, but it’s true that I’ve been able to reach some clubs,” Upamecano told Telefoot on Wednesday, September 23. “As I said, for now, I’m aiming for Leipzig and I will continue. “play for Leipzig. Then let’s see. “
Interest in Upamecano is understandable. He has taken a step forward since joining Die Roten Bullen in 2017 after an $11. 7 million deal with Red Bull Salzburg. He has played 115 matches with the club in all competitions. This includes helping them fight for the Bundesliga and succeeding in the final stages of the Champions League, Goal reported.
This functionality attracted the attention of several clubs. Among those who would have any interest in Upamecano are Arsenal, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona, but the club that stands out in the search for the 21-year-old central is United.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would be interested in Upamecano in the Red Devils defensive line. ESPN reported, and mentioned unidentified sources, that United turned to the 21-year defense to play alongside Harry Maguire after the club closed the deal for Donny van de Beek.
As key goals like Jadon Sancho darken, Solskjaer needs to focus on credible players. However, with Upamecano’s revelation that he has had conversations with other teams, the Red Devils would possibly have to speed up their quest if they are determined to bring in the French defender.
