How RB wants to prevent the Upamecano switch to Bavaria

Rumours have been circulating in recent months that central defender Dayot Upamecano could leave his current employer RB Leipzig this summer to join FC Bayern. However, the corona crisis seems to have changed the omens.

Thus, the “kicker” reports on a possible rethinking at Upamecano. Until a few weeks ago, the RB bosses had assumed that the Frenchman would leave after the season. His contract, which expires in 2021, includes a fixed payment of 60 million euros.

The financial losses suffered by all professional clubs in the wake of the Corona crisis, however, mean that the international transfer market is facing a turning point. Leipzig’s sports director Markus Krösche is also aware of this.
