Chelsea target Dayot Upamecano has been urged to rethink his summer plans to quit RB Leipzig – as things have “changed” due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Now Look, There has been so much speculation and rumours in the media over the past few weeks about whom Frank Lampard will sign in the summer, to sort his dodgy back-line out, to improve that midfield area, and a possible replacement to come in and possibly replace Willian, who is destined to leave the club.
But there has also ben constant rumours that Chelsea are interested, maybe even desperate, to sign up the impressive Upamecano, who is easily regarded as one of the finest young centre-backs in the game having helped RB become a very exciting, and entertaining to watch. It is believed that Chelsea will make a summer move, it is believed that Chelsea will offer £52 million, and it is also believed that RB will say HELL no, ‘we want more’ as they rate the talent very highly, but still, Chelsea will make a move anyways.
But in a bid to keep hold of one of their best players, RB have opened up and told the youngster that he needs to re-think the idea of leaving the club at the end of the season and moving on because of the virus outbreak that is ravaging the whole world, Speaking to Kicker, Leipzig sporting director Markus Krosche said: “This is a far-reaching decision for a player. He should take his time with that.
“He has to be clear about exactly what he is going to do, how he sees his future.
“Maybe that has changed a bit as a result of the new situation [coronavirus].”
It is a big decision for the lad to have and many will be hoping that the virus is gone by then, but it will be interesting to see just if he moves in the summer as all indications suggested that he is keen to leave the club and make that step up.
