Upamecano currently plays for RB Leipzig and has been a mainstay for them, making 36 appearances across all competitions this season.

“When you’re young, you dream of Real Madrid, Barcelona or Manchester United,” he told Telefoot. “But to get there, you have to work.

“I’m proud of myself, very happy. I have to continue in this manner. Then I can look higher. For the moment, my preference is Leipzig. After that, we’ll see.

“All the big players are internationals, and I would like to be called one day,” he said. “I know I’m on the right path and so I have to continue like this.”
