Serious intrigue is arising around the future of French central defender Deojankül Upamecano, who plays for Bundesliga's reigning champions Bayern Munich. The 27-year-old, whose contract with the Munich club is expiring, remains in the spotlight of several leading European clubs.
According to reports, two major and prestigious English Premier League clubs - Manchester City and Chelsea - have also joined the race for Upamecano. According to journalist Graham Bailey's social media account X, both clubs have already taken the first steps towards signing the French defender.
Interest in the player isn't limited to England. Sources indicate that Upamecano is also in Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and Liverpool's transfer plans. This once again confirms how high his value and influence are in the market.
At the same time, Bayern Munich's management is not willing to let the experienced defender go easily. Club officials are working to persuade Upamecano to extend his contract and see him as a key figure in the team's upcoming draft.
Especially with Manchester City, the competition in central defense has intensified considerably. Abdukodir Khusanov, who usually has to play in this position, is also forced to play as a right-back due to the lack of space. Despite this, Pep Guardiola doesn't want to miss the opportunity to acquire the central defender, valued at €60 million by Transfermarkt, as a free agent.
Upamekano's decision will undoubtedly become one of the most interesting topics of the summer transfer window. Fans are eagerly awaiting his next destination.
