Bayern Munich have confirmed their interest in RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano, who is also wanted by Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool.
The France international defender will be one of the hottest properties in the transfer market at the end of the season, when his €45 million release clause becomes active.
“We will of course deal with it, not only with this player, but in principle with all the positions where we want and need to do something,” said Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge (via the Mirror).
Asked if an agreement had been struck, he said: “It's too early for something like that, he's still a Leipzig player at least until the end of the season. But it's common knowledge that he has a clause in his contract."
Upamecano and Leipzig won’t rush into a decision on the youngster’s next move, according to Goal.
