Bayern Munich and Manchester United are still said to be locked in negotiations for the transfer of Matthijs de Ligt.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Bundesliga giants are holding firm on their demand for a guaranteed €50 million fee for De Ligt while United prefer to structure the deal with add-ons rather than paying the full amount upfront.
This impasse has left De Ligt in limbo, as he waits for the move he desires to Old Trafford.
Moreover, United need to manage outgoings before finalizing significant signings.
Yesterday, ESPN reported that Man United are looking to offload several players, including Christian Eriksen, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Scott McTominay, and Jadon Sancho, to fund their transfer budget.
This strategic move aims to generate the necessary funds for incoming transfers, such as Matthijs de Ligt, while balancing the squad and adhering to financial constraints.
We recently covered the story of Jonathan Tah’s uncertain move to Bayern.
His transfer depends on the latter offloading De Ligt, making this development crucial for both players.
Bayern cannot finalize Tah’s transfer until they secure the funds from De Ligt’s sale, creating a complex interplay between the clubs and the players involved.
De Ligt would be a solid addition to United’s team.
The 24-year-old has an excellent relationship with Ten Hag having previously worked with him at Ajax.
His presence would enhance the squad’s defensive solidity and provide Erik ten Hag with a reliable and versatile option at the back.
