In a significant development, Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt has expressed a keen interest in joining Manchester United, despite the club’s absence from the Champions League next season.
The Bayern Munich star is reportedly excited about the project at Old Trafford and is ready to make the move.
Negotiations over personal terms are proceeding smoothly, with no major hurdles anticipated. De Ligt’s agent, Rafaela Pimenta, is currently focused solely on talks with Manchester United, with no other clubs involved in discussions at this stage.
The transfer, however, hinges on an agreement between the two clubs. Bayern Munich has set an asking price of around €50 million, but Manchester United is looking to structure the deal with additional performance-related add-ons.
Club-to-club negotiations are ongoing as United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, has made de Ligt a top priority for the summer transfer window.
De Ligt’s potential move to United marks a significant step in the club’s efforts to bolster their defensive options ahead of the new season. Fans will be eagerly awaiting further developments as talks progress.
