So Upamecano off to Bayern in summer?
Not at all, I remember watching McKennie last season and thinking "Jesus he really stands out, could be someone United should be looking at" The rest of the team weren't on his wavelength at all and he was the only one driving such a poor poor team. As soon as I mentioned McKennie's name here he'd already was signing for Juventus and that came as no surprise to me, he was clearly a few standards up on the current squad at Schalke which is the worst they have had for many many years.
I've watched Kabak plenty of times and I have seen nothing to suggest that he will make it at Liverpool, I think he'll be very exposed with the extra spotlight on him also. He's not quick and he's not dominant in the air and has a clanger or two in him whilst defending.
Bayern themselves have alluded to two English clubs being in contention for him, so they'll still have to deal with some competition.
It was Chelsea and Liverpool.
I watched a bunch of Schalke last season (this season, not so much, unfortunately). Whilst McKennie showed good dribbling and a willingness to cover lots of ground, his passing was quite sloppy and indecisive, and he had barely any defensive awareness. Kabak, though, looked assertive and dominant both in the air and on the ground with his partners and lack of a defensive midfielder often leaving him with doing too much.
This season, I don't know how Kabak has really performed (darn those early Bundesliga matches).
Which source linked those two teams to Upamecano, recently? I've seen nothing about which English clubs are exactly linked to him. I'll do a search on Twitter soon.
EDIT: Never mind, I found it.
I read on Twitter today that Rummenigge revealed it was Chelsea and Liverpool also in for Upamecano.

Why on earth are Schalke loaning their 1st choice center back with an OPTION to buy?
What does an ‘immorally good’ offer look like?
Because they’ve just pulled off the deal of the century signing Mustafi.
Mustafi can command central defence on his own he is that good, so they just any body beside him.
Try before you buy.
I have noticed a lot of discussion on Western McKennie, I was really vocal about us trying to get him ahead of Juventus but of course we didn't and now he is looking like a great signing for them. As for Ozan Kabak, he would be a fantastic signing for Liverpool but I much prefer David Carmo when comparing both of them. He is much better at playing the ball out from the defense and is a very smart and aerially dominant player. He would be a great and financially smart signing for us.
Because it's basically impossible for his replacement to play any worse than Kabak has this season.
From what I've read even Schalke's fans didn't rate him that highly and though he was the most expendable among their (somewhat) valuable players.
Schalke have financial issues apparently.
Yes, but he has never been as bad as Kabak this season.Have you seen Mustafi play before?
I don't want to blame him too much, as he is a young player and Schalke is in a downward spiral for quite some time now, so it's difficult. But he has been absolutely shocking.
Well I hope Kabak carries that form with him to Liverpool.
And I think Mustafi will love taking on your can’t be worse than..... challenge.
