5 defenders FC Barcelona should target this summer

#3 Dyotchanculle Upamecano (RB Leipzig)

Upamecano dreams of playing for FC Barcelona.

The 19-year-old Frenchman is one of most exciting young prospects in world football. He has been a mainstay in Leipzig backline and his performances have earned him applauds from many plaudits and fans as well.

The 6'1 defender is very good in one on one situations and it is very tough to go past him. The former Valenciennes FC centre-back has got great skills on the ball and his first touch is also very good.

Coupled with it he also possesses composure of an experienced player and plenty of pace as well.

He is also a quick read of the game like Gerard Pique and he is also good at decision making. The Leipzig defender has been described as a joy to watch on the pitch because of his decision making.

Also, it should be considered that he is only 19 years old and clearly, his best years are yet to come.

Since Barcelona's main threat of conceding goals are counter attacks they clearly need someone with pace who can deal with them. Also, his ability on the ball makes him a perfect candidate to be a Barca defender.

The young defender has already revealed that he dreams of playing for Barcelona and the Catalan giants have been linked with a £87m bid for him.
