Manchester United’s impressive summer recruitment drive may not be over yet. The club is closely watching Dayot Upamecano’s situation in Bayern Munich.
The French centre-back, widely regarded as one of the elite Bundesliga defenders, is attracting the attention of the Premier League giants.
The French defender moved into the final year of his contract at Allianz Arena, and he was the focus of attention from Mann United as there are no signs of a new contract with the German club.
Dayot Upamecano faces an uncertain future in Bayern Munich
Bayern wants to tie him down to fresh terms, but negotiations have stagnated, creating a window of opportunity that the Premier League giants can exploit.
Reuben Amorim, who has already re-evaluated the offensive division by bringing in Benjamin Sesco, Mateus Cunya and Brian Mbeumo, is keen to strengthen his backline ahead of the new season.
The Red Devils have depth in the central defence division, with players like Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Rennie Yoro, Matigis de Liguto and Aiden Heaven, but it may still be open to the opportunity to sign Upamecano for his quality and experience.
For Bayern, things are becoming more and more frustrating. Consultations over the renewal have taken over, and the German champions are wary of repeated Leroy Thorne Saga, where uncertainty risks calming both players and clubs for a long time.
Man United will have the opportunity to sign French defender
United’s interest and the likelihood of a favorable Premier League offer only add to the pressure.
Whether the deal will come true may depend on Bayern’s willingness to sell now, rather than risking losing him for free in 12 months.
As the clash continues, United are in a prime position to land one of Europe’s most skilled defenders, closing what was already an astounding and well-known transfer window at Old Trafford.
