5 Bundesliga Players That Would Improve Barcelona

#2 Dayot Upamecano (RB Leipzig)

Another of Leipzig's best performers, Dayot Upamecano, is a highly-rated teenager and one that has unsurprisingly attracted interest across Europe.

Widely regarded as one of the world's best young defenders, the 19-year-old Frenchman prides himself on his tough-tackling nature in addition to interceptions - another area where he excels.

He completed 41 tackles and a further 62 interceptions in 25 Bundesliga matches this past season alone, which doesn't take other competitions into account. Naturally, Dayot's youthful exuberance means adopting a fearless nature overrides the inexperience he has at the highest level.

But that's something that he will continue to improve as he matures with more minutes under his belt. In the current market of grossly-inflated transfer fees, quality defenders are becoming an increasingly difficult commodity to manage.

Barcelona themselves have recently been linked with launching a world-record bid (for a defender) in order to secure his services, not least given their ageing backline - one which could be set for a decade to come with Umtiti and Upamecano at the heart of central defence.
