German Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg has revealed that Bayern sporting director, Max Eberl, has addressed the ongoing speculation surrounding Matthijs de Ligt’s potential move to Manchester United. He said it was too early to discuss the situation at this stage.
The Bayern director stated: “De Ligt to Manchester United? If the right time comes, I’ll talk about it. But not yet. Matthis (De Ligt) has done a great job in these two years. That’s why many fans like him. But you have to think about how to make a decision, and you have to consider what the boy thinks.”
According to German Sky, Bayern and Manchester United are currently negotiating the transfer fee. Bayern are demanding €50 million plus add-ons, and there is a gap between the two clubs. The negotiations are tough.
The Bayern director stated: “For now, De Ligt is still a Bayern player. As long as he remains so, he will have our full support.”
The 24-year-old De Ligt has experienced two high-profile transfers. In July 2019, he joined Juventus from Ajax for a fee of around €85.5 million (including add-ons). In July 2022, he joined Bayern Munich from Juventus for €67 million (figures from Transfermarkt). During his time at Bayern, De Ligt has made 53 Bundesliga appearances, scoring 5 goals.
