Even though he extended his contract with RB Leipzig at the end of July, Upamecano has continually been linked with a move away from Red Bull Arena, particularly following his impressive performances in the Champions League final tournament in Lisbon.
Nagelsmann, however, feels certain that the centre-back will not be going anywhere at this point.
"He will be here for the season. I'm sure about that," Nagelsmann told ESPN and continued:
"As for the future, I'm not sure as he is very talented. Lots of club will want to buy - perhaps next season it could be real that he leaves the club. But this season he will stay."
The 21-year-old, who recently made his debut for France, has played 113 games for RB Leipzig, racking up three goals and two assists.
