THIS IS WAR! Man United & Man City Fighting To Sign This Highly Rated Defender

Posted by E.L.E.X on April 13 2020 under Sports

Manchester United and Manchester City are both interested in signing RB Leipzig centre-back Dayot Upamecano.

The 21-year-old France youth international has emerged as one of the best upcoming defenders in Europe, and is said to be on the lists of both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Pep Guardiola.

City, in fact, are hoping to sign two new centre-backs when the transfer window eventually reopens, having conceded more goals (31) so far this season than the previous two campaigns (23, 27), and 10 more than league-leaders Liverpool.

City perused the January market but did not pursue a deal, having looked at players like Bournemouth’s Nathan Ake, Inter Milan’s Milan Skriniar, Shakhtar Donetsk’s Mykola Matvyenko, and the Leicester duo Jonny Evans and Caglar Soyuncu.

Their rivals United, meanwhile, also want to bring in another centre-back, with Chris Smalling’s and Phil Jones’ futures uncertain, and they have been repeatedly linked with Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly.

According to Sky Germany, the impressive youngster Upamacano is also being discussed at a host of top clubs in Europe, including Bayern Munich and the major clubs in Spain.

Talks are at a very early stage and interest not yet concrete, however, especially due to the ongoing financial uncertainty in the game caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
