INDOSPORT.COM – Armed by Arsenal in the hunt for Lille star Gabriel Magalhaes Manchester United ready for revenge by pursuing the target of the Gunners, Dayot Upamecano.
Premier League Club, Arsenal, reportedly will soon bring in a second new player in the transfer market this summer. They are just one step away from bringing in Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes, who will undergo a medical today.
This result should make the Gunners happy. The reason is, they managed to beat a number of other top European clubs in the hunt for the Brazilian center-back, including Napoli and Manchester United.
Meanwhile, the failure to bring in Magalhaes made Manchester United ready to take revenge on Arsenal. Reported The Sun, The Red Devils are now involved in the hunt for other Gunners targeted players, namely Dayot Upamecano.
Not having succeeded in bringing in Jadon Sancho, Manchester United began to shift their focus to the back line, one of which was looking for a center-back who could be the main companion for captain Harry Maguire next season. Dayot Upamecano was also considered to meet the required criteria.
However, it is predicted that Manchester United’s efforts to bring in the French defender will not be easy. The reason is, Upamecano just signed a contract extension with RB Leipzig last July, which lasts for the next 3 years.
Thus, the Red Devils must meet the official price set by RB Leipzig for their flagship defender, which is 50 million pounds (Rp. 970 billion). Alternatively, they could wait until the summer transfer window of 2021 when the defender’s £ 40million release clause becomes active.
Dayot Upamecano himself has performed brilliantly throughout the 2019/2020 season. Even though he is only 21 years old, he is an irreplaceable figure at the back RB Leipzig by appearing 38 times in all competitions. He also managed to bring the team to reach the semifinals of the Champions League.
His brilliant performance made him the target of a number of Europe’s top clubs in the transfer market this summer. Apart from Arsenal and Manchester United, Upamecano is also being hunted by Real Madrid who want to make him the successor of Sergio Ramos.
