Man United-linked Upamecano refuses to rule out Leipzig exit

Dayot Upamecano confirms he has held transfer talks with other clubs as he opens the door for quitting RB Leipzig in the future.

A string of noteworthy performances in the Bundesliga as well as Champions League in the last season saw Dayot Upamecano start getting admiring glances from several European heavyweights.

In an attempt to fend off unwanted interest, Leipzig pinned their prized asset down with a three-year contract extension in July.

Manchester United are currently understood to be leading the chase for the 21-year old center-back, who is also linked with the likes of Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
