Bayern Munich 'agree deal with Red Bull Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano' as highly-rated Arsenal and Manchester United target opts to stay in Germany

Dayot Upamecano has rejected the chance to move to the Premier League with the Red Bull Leipzig defender reportedly agreeing a move to Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich this summer.

The French centre-back has a £52m buyout clause at Leipzig, who are keen to sell him this year as opposed to losing him for free upon the expiration of his contract next summer.

Both Arsenal and Manchester United are keeping tabs on the defender but according to German outlet Bild, the Bundesliga champions have won the race for the 21-year-old's signature.
