RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano: “Many clubs want me”

The 21-year-old is said to be one of the brightest prospects in football with a long list of elite clubs linked to his signature.

Chief among them is Barcelona who have been linked once more by El Mundo Deportivo while a recent report in the Daily Mirror claimed that he is on the shortlist of English Premier League champions Manchester City, who are in desperate need to bolster their defence this summer.

The central defender is one of the main reasons why RB Leipzig are in the thick of a title race in the Bundesliga this season – he has made 25 appearances this campaign, also helping the club to reach the Round of 16 in the Champions League where they fill face Tottenham.

“As I said, first I focus on RB Leipzig and then about what I intend to do, but there are clubs that love me,” Upamecano said.
