According to Bild, Bayern Munich has set a price tag for Matthijs de Ligt, with a transfer fee not falling below €50 million, and Manchester United has yet to make an official bid.
The report indicates that Bayern is seeking a minimum of €50 million in fixed transfer fees, along with additional performance-based clauses.
It is understood from sources in England that Manchester United has made signing a central defender its top priority this summer. After failing to secure a deal for Andreas Christensen and seeing Everton’s financial situation improve, United no longer expects to sign the Danish defender on the cheap, thus turning their attention to De Ligt.
Bild states that renowned agent Pini Zahavi is in direct communication with Manchester United to explore a viable transfer option for De Ligt, while Erik ten Hag is keen to reunite with his former player at Old Trafford.
