Three top Premier League clubs chase Franco-Guinean defender Dayot Upamecano

France international of Guinea-Bissau descent Dayot Upamecano has emerged as a top transfer target for three Premier League giants.

The 27-year-old, who is in the final year of his contract at Bayern Munich has yet to sign a new deal for the German giants, sparking controversies about his future.

With his contract expiring in next summer, the enterprising centre-back could exit the Germain outfit as effort to extend his contract has proved futile.

Upamecano will be able to sign a pre-contract agreement with clubs outside Germany, with several clubs expressing huge interest in the defender.

According to reports, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City are actively considering Upamecano as a potential reinforcement for their back line. Bayern are in talks with the defender over a new contract extension, but Upamecano is aware of the interest from England and is open to exploring his options.

Besides, Spanish giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona are also monitoring the defender, as they seeks to bolster their defense next summer. There is already plenty of buzz in England and across Europe around the soon-to-be free agent, who could become one of the most sought-after players next summer.

Upamecano has made 17 appearances for Bayern Munich across competitions this season, providing an assist.
