Manchester United and Liverpool could compete against each other to convince Dayot Upamecano to join RB Leipzig in the summer as a summer switch from the Bundesliga is approaching
The French national defender has been one of the most consistent players in the Bundesliga for the past three and a half seasons since moving from Red Bull Salzburg to RB Leipzig.
During his time in Germany, the 22-year-old helped his team achieve the 2nd. , 3. and 6. To occupy place, and last time even led them to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Bild has reported that Upamecano will move on at the end of the season and can be had for just £ 40m thanks to a clever clause included in his contract.
That has given United and Liverpool a chance to rush, with both sides looking out for defenders after the recent poor form and injuries.
Former United and England defender Rio Ferdinand urged his former side to sign the France international earlier this year and urged them to forget about Jadon Sancho.
While on talkSPORT he said, « You don’t have £ 200m for a center-back if you want someone like me! »
« There is no dominant center that makes the opposition think: » I will have to do something today to change something of him. « .
« You need this if you want to win something. Jadon Sancho is a talent of the generation staying here so you can understand the interest but for me they need a center-back.
“Upamecano is young, good at the ball, athletic, strong, mobile and plays every game. He’s one you can see right now.
“[Kalidou] Koulibaly has been mentioned for two or three years, he may have missed the boat due to his age. There is no resale value.
“Upamecano is the one who jumps out to me. When I saw the Champions League last year, he was the one that caught my eye.
« If you sign Jadon Sancho, you probably still have the same problems as you did last season. ”
