Matthijs de Ligt: Return to Bavaria or switch to Manchester United?

The future of Dutch central defender Matthijs de Ligt at Bayern Munich remains uncertain, but the interest of Manchester United becomes more intensive, while the player is preparing for the new season.

de Ligt in preparation

Matthijs de Ligt is expected on Friday, August 2, in Munich to undergo the performance tests after his vacation. While many of his teammates are currently on a marketing trip in South Korea, the LIGT is facing a crucial phase that could decide on the next steps in his career. Although he has a long -term contract with Bayern by 2027, he is considered a potential sales candidate.

negotiations with Manchester United

The English team Manchester United shows strong interest in de Ligt, but the price claims of the Munich team, which amount to around 50 million euros, have so far been in the way of the transfer. The English have just committed defensive player Leny Yoro for over 62 million euros, but who was seriously injured on the foot during a trip to the USA and failed for several months. The situation could increase the pressure on United to make a decision regarding the LIGT.

professional attitude of the player

Although there is reportedly an oral agreement between de Ligt and Manchester United, the defender shows a professional attitude towards his current situation. He explained that he would "not cause change stress" and would like to concentrate on preparation at Bayern. This attitude is important because there is no guarantee that the transfer to the Premier League comes about.

competing central defender

internally at Bayern, the defense lineup could also change. Under the former coach Thomas Tuchel, de Ligt was an integral part of the defensive, but often formed a duo with Eric dier. The new Trainer Vincent Kompany could tend to choose Dayot Upamecano. It is also reported that Bavaria advertises Jonathan Tah from Bayer 04 Leverkusen, which would be another alternative for defense.

an exciting transition window

The coming weeks are crucial for Matthijs de Ligt and FC Bayern. The player faces the challenge of adapting to both the new season and clarifying his future. It remains to be seen whether he will act again in the Bundesliga or take the step into the Premier League.
