# Manchester City: Fans beg club to sign Dayot Upamecano after 33% drop in asking price

**A number of Manchester City fans have urged the club to sign Dayot Upamecano after RB Leipzig reduced his asking price by 33%.**

German media outlet [Sport Bild](https://sportbild.bild.de/bundesliga/vereine/bayern-muenchen/fc-bayern-transfers-konzept-kai-havertz-upamecano-70458410.sport.html) reported that the Bundesliga outfit have amended their valuation of the 21-year-old from €60m (£52.28m) to €40m (£34.85m), with the story shared on Twitter via [@City\_Chief](https://twitter.com/City_Chief/status/1257794791166836736).

The 1.86m-tall centre-back has put in some distinguished performances for RB Leipzig this season, winning [2.5 aerial duels and 3.2 tackles](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/327721/Show/Dayot-Upamecano) per game in a Champions League campaign which saw them [reach the quarter-finals](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/51800646) before the [competition was halted](https://www.espn.com/soccer/uefa-champions-league/story/4073203/champions-league-and-europa-league-suspended-as-coronavirus-continues-to-disrupt-football) amid the coronavirus pandemic. He has also been a [regular starter](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dayot-upamecano/leistungsdaten/spieler/344695) in their Bundesliga campaign, which has seen them [involved in the title race](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/1-bundesliga/tabelle/wettbewerb/L1/saison_id/2019) and boast the division’s [joint-best defensive record](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/1-bundesliga/tabelle/wettbewerb/L1/saison_id/2019) of only 26 goals conceded from 25 matches.

[Bleacher Report](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2888869-br-transfer-mailbag-your-questions-answered-on-sancho-sane-coutinho-more)‘s Dean Jones claimed last week that Manchester City, along with Arsenal and Tottenham, have shown an interest in signing the France under-21 international.
