Updated:2025-12-16 08:34 Views:117Bayern Munich have been handed a major boost in their bid to secure the services of RB Leipzig's Dayot Upamecano on transfer deadline day.
The German champions were reportedly set to pay £45 million for the Frenchman, but the Bundesliga giants have now agreed a deal with Leipzig for the 21-year-old.
Upamecano is one of the most sought-after centre-backs in Europe and has already attracted interest from Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea.
But Bayern, who finished third in the league last season, will be delighted to sign him as they look to challenge for the title again this term.
The signing of Upamecano would also strengthen Bayern's defence, which has struggled at times under new boss Julian Nagelsmann.
The Germany international is known for his aerial ability and reads the game well,Saudi Pro League Highlights making him a valuable addition to the squad.
He also has experience of playing in the Champions League, having made three appearances for France since joining from Le Havre in 2016.
Upamecano's arrival could also see Bayern's defensive options open up, as they could bring in another defender to compete for places.
Overall, it seems that Bayern Munich have done well to land Upamecano on transfer deadline day, and he should provide them with a strong partnership in the heart of their defence.
