Everybody loves Dayot Upamecano. The young RB Leipzig defender is the man of the hour in the Bundesliga, a player who, at just 21, can already boast of having Europe's big names behind him.
Arsenal's transfer bid, which will have to wait until next summer due to the 'Financial Fair Play', was joined by Jose Mourinho's Tottenham to kick off an intense London duel for the services of the highly-rated defender.
All this after Pep Guardiola's Manchester City was one of the first major clubs to take a step forward for his signing for the present winter market.
An intense war full of international teams, which has been joined, as if that were not enough, by Barcelona. 'Daily Express' reports a possible bombshell in January that would cost the Catalans 53 million euros.
The aforementioned media claims that Barcelona officials Upamecano as a possible replacement for Samuel Umtiti, a player that the Catalans know is linked to an exit because of his irregularity and lack of playing time.
