Matthijs de Ligt has been mentioned to Manchester United a lot. He could leave Bayern Munich in the summer.
We told you two days ago about a story from FT that said the Red Devils are the favorites to sign the Dutch international from Bayern Munich.Now, news sources from Italy also say that Manchester United are in the lead to sign De Ligt.
Tutto Juve says that Manchester United are the favorites to sign the former Juventus center-back from the German champions.
The news source says that the Red Devils are in talks with the player’s agents about a deal that will cost them about £42.7 million (50 million euros).
Bayern paid £65.6m to get De Ligt from Juventus in 2022. For a player who hasn’t even reached his best yet, £42.7 million should be seen as a huge steal.
Calcio Mercato says that Manchester United is thinking about getting the Dutch player to replace Raphael Varane at Old Trafford.
This year, the retired French star will be 31 years old. He is past his prime and hasn’t been very consistent for the 20-time English winners.
De Ligt got the Dutch Footballer of the Year award in 2019 and has also won league titles in Italy, Brazil, and Germany.
Do you think Manchester United should bid £42.7 million to get him?
