TRANSFER LATEST!! Liverpool & Chelsea Want To Sign Upamecano

Liverpool and Chelsea are interested in Dayot Upamecano, according to Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, who says Bayern Munich are also planning to swoop for the RB Leipzig defender.
Upamecano has emerged as one of the most sought-after players in Europe over the past two years, having enjoyed a rapid rise to prominence at Red Bull Arena.

The 22-year-old has helped Leipzig challenge Bayern for the Bundesliga title in Germany, while also starring in the Champions League, showing maturity and physical strength belying his age.

The likes of Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain have all been linked with Upamecano in recent months, with his stock seemingly rising with each passing game.

Rummenigge has now confirmed that Bayern will be in the market for the Frenchman in the summer transfer window as they look to bring in a replacement for exit-bound David Alaba, whose current contract is due to expire at the end of June.

“In addition to Bayern Munich, there are at least two quite attractive clubs interested,” the Bayern CEO told Sky Germany.

“The fact is that the player is interesting, and the fact is that we will almost certainly lose David Alaba in that position.

“I can’t say if there will be other departures in that position.”
