Matthijs de Ligt is being discussed by Manchester United and Bayern Munich, with the German team requesting £42.5 million for the defender, according to Dharmesh Sheth of Sky Sports, who spoke with GIVEMESPORT.
At the Allianz, De Ligt has lost favor; in the 2023–2024 Bundesliga season, he started just 16 games. The Dutchman has fallen behind others in the hierarchy, including Eric Dier, Dayot Upamecano, and Kim Min-Jae, and his new manager, Vincent Kompany, views him as unnecessary.
United has shifted their focus to De Ligt as they search for a center-back this summer after their attempt to sign Jarrad Branthwaite for £35 million was unsuccessful. The former Ajax player is reportedly “keen” to transfer to Old Trafford, which means
Manchester United and Bayern Munich are reportedly in talks about signing Matthijs de Ligt, with the German team asking for £42.5 million, according to Dharmesh Sheth of Sky Sports, who talked with GIVEMESPORT.
De Ligt has fallen out of favor at the Allianz; during the 2023–2024 Bundesliga season, he made just 16 starts. Vincent Kompany, the Dutchman’s new manager, believes the player is superfluous because he has lagged behind Kim Min-Jae, Dayot Upamecano, and Eric Dier in the hierarchy.
After failing in their effort to buy Jarrad Branthwaite for £35 million, United has turned their attention to De Ligt in their summer center-back hunt. According to reports, the former Ajax player is “keen” to move to Old Trafford, which entails
It looks like a deal is almost done, but the player’s participation in the Euros with the Netherlands—who play Turkey in a quarterfinal on Saturday—may cause a delay in the transaction’s completion.
Since the two played together at Ajax, INEOS is keen to provide Erik ten Hag with a new central defender this summer. They have decided that De Ligt is the ideal candidate to bring to the north-west. At Old Trafford, the 24-year-old might end up becoming Lisandro Martinez’s long-term companion.
United may decide to bolster their defense on the left side after acquiring a new center-back. Due to Tyrell Malacia’s and Luke Shaw’s injury struggles from the previous season, Diogo Dalot was frequently used on his weaker side; hence, acquiring a dependable player in this position will be considered advantageous.
According to AS, United is reportedly interested in bringing Sergio Reguilon back from Tottenham, where he was on loan last year. The management of the Manchester-based team is excited to work with the Spaniard again after he made just nine league games before the loan period ended. The midfielder showed promise at Brentford in the second half of the season.
