I think offering around 40/45 m plus Tuanzebe will do the trick for him. It will be a win win for both parties, we will get an instant first XI starter potentially world class defender and Leipzig will get a young English defender who they can sell for 50 million plus in future.
Dayot Upamecano | Signs for Bayern

I thinks that offering Smalling + 25 millions will do the trick, now.
We need him alongside Maguire now.
Aren't we after a left footer?
Teams like Leipzig like young assets that they can make future profits on.
I agree with the sentiment that if we offer the old €52m release clause + Tuanzebe, they will consider it.
Zero chance they'll take Smalling or less money.

Yeah that kind of offer will be the best hope of getting him
Let's just sign him and we can leave him on loan till next season if they insist.
How good is he? Gullit thinks United should buy him..
Why do people seem so open to the idea of letting Tuanzebe leave? I know there is an injury record there but surely too soon to be getting rid of him.
Get this man signed up! Best option out there at the moment.
Let's be honest, in a few years time he will sign for Bayern. Dreaming about Dayot is like dreaming about Ana de Armas: it ain't happening.
He will sign for another club because United doesn't make a case for him to sign. First you need to convince the player. Only the manager can do that. Not Woodward as it will be a disaster.
How’s that? A lot of top prospects in Germany don’t stay there when England or Spain come calling.
Gullit knows his footie.
It's apparent to everyone he had be perfect for us. Why are we dithering?
Sell Smalling and get him and stop this fetish with left footers.
Of course, Bayern can't buy them all.
Of course Gullit knows football. He was one time the world's best player. Can play in any position and Cruijff's favorite nephew in law so obviously they did talk a lot on football.
But is this guy that good?
But is this guy that good?
We won't be buying this guy. We probably should. But we won't
Any video available of his performance? Seems to have a lot of fans convinced.
Correct
It's worth watching the whole game mate.
Should be our first choice CB signing.
Why would we??
I can't imagine his mum and dad putting on a pair of boots and putting a shift in!
He's faced harder matches in the German Bundesliga than the one against Atleti.
Pay the release clause. We might have sorted our back line for at least the next 3-5 years.
Getting Jaap Stam vibes from him. Go get him
Which clubs are rumoured to be seriously interested in this window?
He’s how old, and played how many games in the PL? That’s why.
Heard Andy Brassell say on the The Football Ramble that Upamecano might not even be the best CB at RB Leipzig with Ibrahima Konaté in the squad.
It did look as if he was Bayern bound but Bayern wouldn't pay the asking price and instead Bayern signed PSGs Kouassi on a free. It remains to be seen if they revisit this chase next season but that will probably depend on how Kouassi settles.
Arsenal were also linked.
I've been watching Leipzig for the last two seasons and I completely agree with him.
Thanks. So zero links with us.
I think our priorities lie elsewhere in this window. A significant upgrade for the RW is of much higher priority and will eat away at most of our budget so it suits us that Upamecano and Konate both stay at Leipzig for the new season.Thanks. So zero links with us.
Could Tuanzebe develop into our version of Upamecano, if he can stay fit and get 25 odd games next year?
Tuanzebe could develop into a very good player but unfortunately can't stay fit. He's a very good ball player but from what I've seen Upamecano is considerably ahead in his development.
Upamecano has also made a number of errors in the league too, so will require patience if we signed him. And if you had seen those errors then I believe he'd be going on your hipster CB list.
But having said that he's a very promising young CB that will be a asset for any team that signs him IMO.
I really seemed to have kicked a hornets nest with that thread
Generally speaking you and @Samid are on point about upcoming or less known players, so I'm always interested in reading your observations.
That thread was a great read tbf..I really seemed to have kicked a hornets nest with that thread

Crazily good.
Yeah totally agree. Have been saying this for a while, seems the perfect partner for Harry
I do like that Konate guy more, but Upamecano seems like more polished and aggressive.
We almost signed him years ago. If he's developing into a top CB as everyone is suggesting, this seems to be a no brainer.
Dayot usually played left CB in a back 4 when I watched Leipzig before the virus. He'd be the perfect partner for Maguire in a 4 man backline, imo.
