“It’s true Chelsea wants him” – Journalist confirms Chelsea wants to sign €43m World class Bundesliga star
Dayot Upemacano, a great player for Bayern Munich, is apparently much sought after by Chelsea this summer transfer window.
The club tried to sign Upamecano when he was just 17 years old, but he consistently turned down offers to play in the Premier League, so the two have been synonymous for years.
Nevertheless, the 25-year-old defender, who has a contract through 2026, may be inclined to begin a new chapter in his career elsewhere after spending three years in Bavaria. Speaking on the podcast, journalist Christian Falk implied that the Frenchman was on the club’s radar, despite a few lackluster games for the German powerhouses.
He said: “Yes, it’s true: CHELSEA would like Dayot Upamecano. It’s not really clear yet whether he’ll have a chance next year. Vincent Kompany is looking at everyone, but would Bayern let him go?
“That would probably cost a lot of money. At the time, Bayern paid €€42.5m to RB Leipzig.”
However – the report adds that newly appointed Bayern Munich boss, Vincent Kompany, “is fully counting on the former Leipzig defender. The Belgian will now have to convince him of the benefit of staying in Bavaria”, as Bayern are much happier to let Kim Min-Jae or Matthijs De Ligt leave
