Liverpool are reportedly still likely to be in the hunt for RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano in the summer transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Romano recently told us Liverpool and Chelsea would likely be among the candidates to sign Upamecano for next season, and it seems that’s still the case even though the Reds are also tying up some defender deals today.

The France international is one of the most exciting prospects in Europe and should prove a tremendous signing for the Reds if he does join.
