According to the latest from The Athletic (TA), Manchester United has officially submitted two bids to Bayern Munich in an attempt to sign De Ligt and Mazraoui in a package deal, but both were rejected by the German club.
Following Varane’s serious injury, Manchester United has stepped up its pursuit of defensive reinforcements. However, both bids for De Ligt and Mazraoui were turned down by Bayern Munich, who stated that the offers were too low and that Manchester United must increase the transfer fees. Negotiations for these two transfers are still ongoing.
Bayern Munich informed De Ligt and Mazraoui before the start of the summer window that they were no longer part of the club’s plans. Due to their high salaries, Bayern may become more willing to lower their asking price over time for cost considerations.
