Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur will have to pay the full release clause of Dayot Upamecano if they want to sign him from RB Leipzig in the summer transfer window.

That’s according to French publication L’Equipe, who claim that Leipzig have decided to sell the defender.

However, according to the report, the German club will only settle for the 21-year-old central defender’s full release clause, which is €60 million (£52.51 million)

The Daily Star has reported that Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta is ready to push for the youngster, described as “highly talented” by Germany legend Lothar Matthaus to Sky Germany (click here to read more).

Expensive?

While Upamecano is a very talented player with huge potential, it remains to be seen how many clubs are willing to pay the full release clause amid the economic uncertainty due to the global health crisis.

Meanwhile, Tottenham are reportedly facing competition from Paris Saint-Germain for Manchester United full-back Diogo Dalot.

According to The Sun, Spurs head coach Jose Mourinho may move for the Portuguese youngster, with the British tabloid adding that Paris Saint-Germain are interested in the 21-year-old, who could be available for £31.6 million.
