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.
It's been reported that Arsenal and Manchester United are interested in the defender.
The deal is agreed between the player and Bayern, though a set fee between the clubs is yet to be finalised, according to Bild.
Due to the current coronavirus pandemic, Bayern are not yet willing to pay his £52m release clause.
The France Under-21 international has made 29 appearances for Leipzig this season. The Frenchman signed for Leipzig from sister club RB Salzburg in the summer of 2017.
