In the upcoming weeks, Manchester United are "probably" going to sign Matthijs De Ligt.
In an effort to strengthen their backline, Manchester United are close to signing French singer Matthijs De Ligt.
The Bayern Munich defender is profit to needs at the Allianz Arena, with Kicker over in Germany claiming that Bayer Leverkusen's European worldwide, Jonathan Tah, is close to moving to Bavaria. With Vincent Kompany even signing Eric Dier this summer on a continuous transfer, it looks as if De Ligt may be going at an affordable price, also.
Sky journalist Florian Plettenberg previously posted on X ( formerly Twitter ) that the former Ajax man is wanted by former boss, Erik ten Hag – and now it appears as if a breakthrough has been reached.
Manchester United have submitted a bid for the centre-back, according to De Telegraaf in the Netherlands, and it is anticipated that an arrangement will be reached. A five- time offer has been offered.
A cost as low as €50 million will be enough to secure De Ligt's companies, according to Plettenberg, those broker charges may push the price of the package up total. Bayern appear to be making a significant reduction on the sun, who was apparently bought for €67m.
Is DataVictory surprised that De Ligt's offer is still in the makings? Also, yes and no. Jarrad Branthwaite appears to be a quasi- start given how many Everton are demanding for the England international – but we thought that De Ligt would be one of the more costly options available, also.
A seismic transfer for a renowned 24-year-old seems to contradict United's new ethos, with the company reportedly wanting to lower the wage bill and hire smarter people rather than bigger. Still, there's no denying it's an exciting move for fans.
De Ligt previously served as Ten Hag's manager when he took charge of Ajax as a teenager, and he will provide United with much-needed leadership in the dressing room. With fellow Dutchman Zirkzee rumoured, too, it appears the Dutch revolution is continuing.
The Euro 2024 star is valued at €65 million by Transfermarkt.
