Arsenal transfer blow as Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane turns his attention to Dayot Upamecano – The Sun

REAL MADRID have joined Arsenal in the race to sign Dayot Upamecano, according to reports.

The RB Leipzig defender is set to hand in a transfer request if his £55million release clause is not activated this summer.

According to AS, Madrid are the latest team to indicate their interest in the 21-year-old.

The source claims Zinedine Zidane has also set his sights on Rennes ace Eduardo Camavinga and Lyon forward Rayan Cherki.

Madrid will have to activate Upamecano's £55million release clause to secure his signature this summer.

But the Spanish giants will face competition from the Gunners, Barcelona and German side Bayern Munich.

During an interview with RMC Sport last month, Upamecano confirmed he will make his decision at the end of the season.
