Ridiculous prices for an untried unknown.
we need to get him in whatever the cost pay him more salary we can still win europa get him in try to get saliba in early get rid of a few useless players get rabiot in a rb lb and we are golden get rid of ozil aswell.EliteKiller wrote:Word in Germany is that Spurs have offered cash for a January transfer, knowing them it will be low-ball we need to get this done ... this lad is very good 50m on a 21 year old with already nearly 100 top flight games --- yes please. The issue appears to be CL neither us or Spurs look good for next season and he wants CL football, so maybe he will wait until the summer the problem for RB is that he only has 18 months on his contract, his value will likely go down for them.
Leipzig issue Upamecano statement
RB Leipzig have dented Arsenal’s hopes of signing Dayot Upamecano this month.
Arsenal are currently contemplating making a bid for the 21-year-old centre-back, whom they’ve been long-time admirers of.
Express Sport understands Arsenal’s head of football Raul Sanllehi has held discussions with the Bundesliga side over a potential January deal.
A £50million bid for the Frenchman - who is refusing to sign a new contract at the Red Bull Arena - has been mooted.
Leipzig, however, have publicly declared they have no interest in parting company with the France Under-21 international.
The Bundesliga side issued a defiant statement on Upamenano’s future after seeing a tweet from an Arsenal fan that read: “Me waiting for Upamecano to be announced.”
Leipzig responded to the tweet with GIF of former WWE star Wade Barratt, which had the accompanying caption: “I’ve got some bad news.”
