Matthijs de Ligt, a target for Manchester United, receives Bayern Munich’s transfer approval.
Uli Hoeness, the president of Bayern Munich, acknowledges that Manchester United is likely to show interest in Matthijs de Ligt, who is expected to be sold this summer.
The 24-year-old Netherlands international has been strongly associated with the Red Devils this summer, and even after defeating Real Madrid to sign Leny Yoro, it is believed that the team may still attempt to sign him.
After their time together at Ajax, De Ligt is well-known to Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, and the player is reportedly excited about the prospect of teaming up with his countryman again in the Premier League.
After signing Yoro, United plans to prioritise a defensive midfield player.
However, if they can collect more money through player trades, they would prefer to recruit another defender. Furthermore, the possibility of renewed interest in De Ligt at Hoeness paved the way for his sale.
It is probable that a defender may leave Bayern, the president of the club stated when speaking with German media this past weekend about possible departures. The Manchester United coach and De Ligt are both Dutch. If he remained, it would not bother me. I wouldn’t sell Upamecano, personally.”
Yoro, 18, was willing to turn down Real Madrid’s interest in order to pursue a transfer to Old Trafford, according to earlier reports that suggested United and Bayern were in negotiations over a possible deal for De Ligt.
The gifted young player, who is recognised as one of the most promising defenders in world football, has drawn interest from some of Europe’s best since joining Lille’s first squad.
Yoro will probably play in central defence with Lisandro Martinez, but if United can get rid of Victor Lindelof, they might look to seek another centre back. Ten Hag recently revealed that negotiations about a transaction for De Ligt were still continuing on to the Dutch publication Algemeen Dadblad.
We still have to wait and see if De Ligt will come, he remarked.
The good news is that I was able to step away from the process for three or four weeks on my vacation. These players were primarily recruited at that time by the club’s recently formed scouting and recruitment division.
It’s actually a coincidence that there are Dutch players among them as well. These were mostly players that our organisation brought in. To be clear, I do support them, but we still come to a decision together.
