Early years

Upamecano was born on 27 October 1998 in Évreux, Normandy to a family from Guinea-Bissau; he was raised in La Madeleine, a neighbourhood with many African immigrants.[4][5] He was named after his great-grandfather, who was king of the village on the island of Jeta in Guinea-Bissau, which his parents are from.[6] He is the first son after four daughters, and has one younger brother.[5] As a 15-year-old, he followed speech therapy sessions to overcome dyslexia and stuttering disorders, which caused shyness and certain difficulties in expressing himself.[6]

Upamecano began playing football with local club Évreux, alongside the likes of Ousmane Dembélé, Rafik Guitane and Samuel Grandsir.[5] He covered a variety of positions in his youth, before being fixed on the centre-back position.[5] He joined the youth academy of Valenciennes in 2013.[7] Described during the time as a youth in an adult body, Upamecano shaped his play after Sergio Ramos, and developed into a physically imposing defender.[5]

Club career

Red Bull Salzburg

After attracting the attention of a number of major European clubs, including Manchester United, Upamecano joined Red Bull Salzburg in July 2015 for a reported fee of €2.2 million.[8] He was an unused substitute in Red Bull's UEFA Champions League game against Malmö FF on 29 July 2015.[9] He made his professional debut for Red Bull's farm team, Liefering, two days later, in a 2–1 league win against St. Pölten.[10] On 19 March 2016, he made his league debut with Red Bull Salzburg in a 2–1 win over SV Mattersburg.[11]

In the first half of the 2016–17 season, Upamecano earned a regular place with the first team in both league and Europa League matches.[12]

RB Leipzig

On 13 January 2017, Upamecano joined RB Leipzig on a 4+1⁄2-year deal, for a reported €10 million fee.[13] On 4 February 2017, he made his Bundesliga debut under coach Ralph Hasenhüttl in a 1–0 defeat against Borussia Dortmund.[7] On 13 September 2017, he made his Champions League debut in a 1–1 draw against Monaco.[14] On 9 February 2018, he scored his first goal in a 2–0 win over Augsburg.[15] On 2 July 2018, he was shortlisted for the 2018 Golden Boy award.[16]

On 31 July 2020, Upamecano signed a new deal until 2023.[17] In the 2019–20 season, he reached with RB Leipzig the Champions League semi-finals under coach Julian Nagelsmann.[18]

Bayern Munich

On 14 February 2021, Bayern Munich announced an agreement for the signing of Upamecano on a five-year deal, to be effective as of 1 July 2021.[19] The club reportedly met his release clause from Leipzig, set at €42.5 million.[20][21] Upamecano's first game as a Bayern player came in a pre-season friendly on 16 July 2021 against fellow Bundesliga side 1. FC Köln that saw Bayern lose 3–2 after fielding a side largely consisting of reserve and youth players.[22][23]

He made his competitive debut on the opening day of the 2021–22 Bundesliga season, starting at centre-back alongside Niklas Süle in a 1–1 away draw against Borussia Mönchengladbach.[24] He scored his first goal for the club in a 4–0 win over VfL Wolfsburg on 17 December, heading in a cross from Thomas Müller.[25]

International career

Upamecano is of Bissau-Guinean descent.[4] He played for the France under-16 team that finished third in the 2014 Aegean Cup.[26] He played in three of his country's four games and was named the competition's best defender.[27][28] He subsequently moved up to the France under-17 squad, making his debut in a European Championship qualifier against Cyprus on 27 October 2014.[27] France won the 2015 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, with Upamecano playing in all six of his country's matches and being named in the team of the tournament.[29][30] He made his debut for France under-18 in a 0–0 friendly draw with United States under-18 on 4 September 2015.[31]

Upamecano made his debut for the France national football team, on 5 September 2020, starting in a UEFA Nations League group-stage match against Sweden.[32] Three days later on 8 September, he scored his first international goal in a 4–2 win against Croatia.[33]
