Arsenal transfer news : Who are the 3 perfect options for Gunners to replace Laurent Koscielny

#2 Dayot Upamecano

Arsenal transfer newsArsenal are also aiming to land Dayot Upamecano, but the RB Leipzig player is proving to be much more valued by the German club than expected.

The North London club recently offered €60 million offer to RB Leipzig for Upamecano but it was rejected by the Bundesliga outfit. Thus, it seems Arsenal have to offer something more lucrative than what are they offering right now.

Upamecano plays a crucial role in Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann’s 3-5-2 system and thus the club are not willing to sell. The France Under-21 international is under contract at Leipzig until 2021.

The contract includes a €100m release clause that will reportedly drop to €80m next summer, but that would be too late for the club, as they need immediate reinforcement at the defence this summer.

Looking at this scenario, the deal seems even more difficult than landing Rugani right now, as Juventus at least are ready to sell, but on the other hand, same is not with RB Leipzig.
