Upamecano has spoken to French media ahead of the international game. He said he signed a new contract because Leipzig had shown trust in him by playing him. He did say he wasn't going to lie and that he is currently in contact with several clubs, but he feels there is no urgency surrounding a move, so said he'll just see what happens in the future.

It sounded like he would want reassurances in terms of game time. He trusts Leipzig to play him as they play young players. He is also part of the France set-up now, and there's no shortage of competition for places, so he'll want to be playing to keep in contention.

I had a quick glance at the French press and there's rumours regarding this. They say United are showing the most interest and that an official bid may come soon, but Real Madrid and PSG are also interested, although the latter seem to see him as plan B to Skriniar.

I'm guessing that if he's talking to clubs, that means Leipzig has given him permission to do so, so it seems a transfer would be possible at the right price.

Fabrizio Romano confirmed that we are in for a CB.
Hope we go in for Upamecano or Pau Torres.
The ideal choice would be Giminez.

Can see the club waiting a year for a cb and prioritising a right forward signing instead.

Upamecano would be a great signing but it seems massively unlikely.

I still don't understand why we haven't looked at Alaba. His versatility, ability on the ball and pace would help us in defence.
