Matthijs de Ligt has reportedly expressed his desire to join Manchester United as soon as possible, according to sources. Talks are ongoing between United and Bayern Munich for a potential transfer fee of up to £50 million for the talented central defender. Bayern Munich has already reached a deal in principle with Bayer Leverkusen to acquire Jonathan Tah, which could pave the way for De Ligt’s move to Old Trafford.
The Dutch international is said to be very eager to sign for Manchester United, viewing it as the next ideal step in his career. Sources suggest that Bayern Munich is open to selling De Ligt in this transfer window, provided the right price is offered. Manchester United is keen on adding De Ligt to their defensive options, especially after the injury setback suffered by their recent signing, Leny Yoro.
Manager Erik ten Hag, who previously worked with De Ligt at Ajax, sees the defender as a key target for the upcoming season. The potential reunion of the two at Old Trafford could strengthen United’s defense significantly. In addition to De Ligt, another player linked with a move to Manchester United is Brentford striker Ivan Toney. The Premier League club is reportedly considering a late bid for Toney to enhance their attacking options.
In a related development, a mega-rich club has shown interest in signing Antony, adding to the ongoing transfer speculations in the football world.
