The British public broadcaster BBC reported on the 2nd (local time) that Manchester United is making progress in recruiting Dutch defender De Ligt. The BBC, which introduced the relationship that led to the semifinals of the European Champions League at Ajax with Manchester United coach Erik tenhach in 2019, predicted that Munich could leave De Ligt to cut the team's wages.
Florian Flettenberg, a journalist in charge of Munich, said Munich wanted at least 50 million euros in De Ligt's ransom. "Manchester United officials are surprised by the news that Munich could let go of De Ligt," he said. De Licht is currently participating in the Euro 2024 tournament as a member of the Dutch national team, so agent De Licht is reportedly in talks with both clubs.
De Ligt is likely to leave the Allianz Arena to the extent that even the BBC, which is recognized for its public confidence, reported. Some expect Kim Min-jae's position to expand if De Ligt, a rival for center back, leaves, but in a sense, De Ligt may be better off. If De Ligt leaves, the possibility of a more fearsome replacement joining will increase.

Leverkusen has refused to transfer to a rival team, but has been opening the door little by little recently. Plattenberg said at the end of last month that `the two clubs are getting closer and closer. Currently, negotiations between clubs are going on positively"Leverkusen knows that others will not enter into an extension agreement " The contract expires in the summer of 2025. The estimated transfer fee is between 20 million and 25 million euros.
Plattenberg said that if Ta joins, one of the existing center backs De Ligt, Kim Min-jae and Dayot Upamecano can leave. Only Eric Dier is firmly established.
However, if De Ligt leaves for Manchester United, Kim Min-jae, who was pushed to three options in the second half of last season, can remain in Munich next season and continue his challenge. However, Ta, who is the same age as Kim Min-jae, is the type of defense based on overwhelming physicality, so there is a lot of overlap with Kim Min-jae. More fierce competition is inevitable than De Ligt's remaining side.
