Report – Real Madrid join race to sign Dayot Upamecano

Real Madrid have reportedly joined the list of clubs wanting to sign prolific RB Leipzig star Dayot Upamecano, according to The Mirror.

The 21-year-old defender has been monitored by a number of Premier League clubs in recent weeks, including Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Barcelona.

The RB Leipzig centre-back has just 12 months left to run on his contract at Red Bull Arena, and it’s unlikely the Frenchman will agree a new deal to stay so it seems inevitable that he’ll move on this summer.

The France Under-21 international has a release clause worth £50million, but it might not even take that much if the Bundesliga outfit decide to sell.

Upamecano chalked up 104 appearances for RB Leipzig since a 2017 move from Red Bull Salzburg.
