Manchester United Initiates Talks to Acquire Bayern Star Matthijs de Ligt Manchester United is ramping up efforts to sign Bayern Munich star Matthijs de Ligt. According to Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg, the Red Devils have begun internal discussions regarding a potential transfer for de Ligt, with the deal expected to be finalized in the coming weeks.
Matthijs de Ligt, 24, might be leaving Bayern Munich if the right offer comes along, as he has fallen in the club’s hierarchy. Manchester United’s coach Erik ten Hag is reportedly keen on reuniting with de Ligt, with whom he enjoyed success at Ajax from 2017 to 2019.
Manchester United believes that a bid of approximately £42 million could tempt Bayern to sell. The club is seeking at least one center-back this summer, and de Ligt is a prime candidate.
United’s defense is currently undergoing changes. Raphael Varane is set to depart Old Trafford in two weeks when his contract ends, and Jonny Evans is in a similar position, though talks are ongoing about extending his contract. Victor Lindelof’s future is also uncertain, with interest from Fenerbahce.
Strengthening the defense is crucial for United, and de Ligt would be a valuable addition. Known for his world-class talent, de Ligt boasts a 92 percent passing accuracy in the Bundesliga last season. Reuniting with ten Hag, who made him Ajax captain as a teenager, could be a significant motivator for de Ligt.
In addition to de Ligt, United has several other defensive targets. Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite is a key prospect, with reports indicating that personal terms have been agreed upon. Despite a £45 million offer, Everton is expected to reject the bid. Branthwaite excelled in the 2023/24 season, helping Everton stay in the Premier League despite an eight-point deduction.
Other defensive options for United include Gleison Bremer, Jean-Clair Todibo, and Leny Yoro. These players are being considered as United aims to solidify their defense for the upcoming season.
