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.

Dayot Upamecano has played for RB Leipzig since 2017

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.

He said: “There are several clubs that want me.

“I will speak with my agents and my parents at the end of the season and we will make the right decision.”

Madrid could be set to win the race for his signature after he Upamecano revealed his “dream” to play for them.

In 2018, the defender said: “When you’re young, you dream of Real Madrid, Barcelona or Manchester United.

“But to get there, you have to work.”

Arsenal have been long-term admirers of the defender under both Arteta and former manager Unai Emery.

The Gunners had also been linked to Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes – but Chelsea are closing in on him.
