Manchester United Seals Deal for Top European Talent: Details Revealed
Manchester United has successfully secured the signing of one of Europe’s most coveted players, with the club’s management approving the salary structure. The player, set to don an iconic jersey number, will undergo his medical examination today.
Erik ten Hag is on the brink of a long-anticipated reunion with Matthijs de Ligt at Manchester United, if recent media reports hold true.
According to the latest edition of The Daily Record, the headline reads, “Ten Hag closes in on a reunion.”
Manchester United’s initial bid for the Dutch international was turned down by Bayern Munich, who value him at approximately £42.9 million.
Bayern Munich is nearing the acquisition of German international Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen, but this move hinges on the sale of De Ligt.
Today’s report from Bild, a well-regarded German news outlet, reveals that Bayern Munich is under pressure to sell during the summer transfer window. They might offload not just one but two center backs.
The report indicates that Bayern Munich initially set De Ligt’s transfer price at £42.9 million (50 million euros) for Manchester United or any other interested club.
However, Bayern’s sporting director, Max Eberl, may need to adjust this price to finalize the deal.
As FA Cup winners, Manchester United is set to face Premier League champions Manchester City in the Community Shield match on Saturday. Unfortunately, Ten Hag will be without his key center-back signing, Leny Yoro, who is sidelined for at least a few months.
With the French youngster unavailable, Ten Hag is eager to complete the signing of Matthijs de Ligt for Manchester United as quickly as possible.
