We were already interested in him last summer when he was still at Salzburg but there was no way Red Bull would sell him to other club than Leipzig. Now he apparently has a 100M buy out clause and I don't see RBL negotiate with any club for the next 2-3 seasons. And even with market going crazy I don't believe there will be a club willing to pay 100M for a CB.
Personally, if we bring Mina and Marlon returns I think we are ok at CB for the next few seasons but if De Ligt would accept that I'd sign him and leave him on loan at Ajax for a season or two.
Another upamecoming kid from France. I'd wait for Marlon though.
Good one.
accodring to MD he has been heavily recommended by Oscar Garcia Yunyent, Barca's former youth coach. Yunyent is especially hinting at Upamecano's technique, speed and build up play. At 18 he is a starter for Leipzig and arguably also their best defender already, and whoscored even put him into the European Team of the Season (after like ~5 games only of course.)
