With a $42 million release clause that reportedly activates in 2021, you have to think a host of top European clubs will be keeping an eye on Upamecano this year.
Victory for Leipzig sets up a mammoth semi-final clash with Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night.
They took the lead against Atletico through Dani Olmo, with the Spaniard's flying header catching Jan Oblak off guard.
Diego Simeone's side equalised 20 minutes later via a penalty from Joao Felix.

The substitute had won the spot kick after being hauled down by Lukas Klostermann when through on goal.
Adams then popped up with a deflected effort in the 88th minute to seal victory for the Bundesliga side.
