British publication The Sun reported on the 3rd (Korea time) 'Manchester United has completed negotiations on the salary of Matisse de Licht, and the two sides have completed negotiations on the salary. Negotiations over the transfer fee between Manchester United and Bayern Munich remain, but individual negotiations between Manchester United and De Licht have already been completed. De Ligt's recruitment has been virtually decided, reports said.
Bayern Munich's departure from centre-back Matthijs de Ligt is expected.
Local German media such as Germany's Sky Sports decided to sell Bayern Munich because of De Ligt's high salary. De Ligt has also publicly told the club that he wants to leave the team this summer. Bayern Munich are looking to transfer De Ligt this summer. Negotiations are underway with Premier League clubs.
Not only Manchester United, but Liverpool and Chelsea also showed interest. However, Manchester United was the most aggressive club to sign.
De Licht, who joined Bayern Munich in 2022, is a world-class defender. Despite his poor performance in the aftermath of the injury, he was the leader of Bayern Munich's four-back team.
Having missed the early part of last season, he took over as the starting center-back at the end of the season, and manager Thomas Tuchel was appointed along with Eric Dier.
However, the situation completely changed with the arrival of the new head coach Vincent Kompany. He wanted a major defensive overhaul, and De Ligt was the first transfer target.
Kompany has already hired Hiroki Ito and is negotiating to recruit Jonathan Ta. Not only De Ligt, but also Kim Min-jae and Dayo Upamecano are also dangerous.
