As the end of the summer break draws near, Bayern Munich's defensive great Derek De Ligt is set to end his time off and return to the club. According to a new report from Sky Sports Germany's Florian Plettenberg, De Ligt is due to return to Bayern Munich on Friday and will undergo a series of fitness tests on arrival to assess his fitness and recovery. This news shows that Dellihert's vacation has come to a successful end and he is embracing the challenges of the new season with enthusiasm and full preparation.
However, while De Ligt is in good personal form and returning, the transfer rumors between him and Manchester United are still not settled. Although De Ligt has agreed on personal terms with United, the two clubs are still at odds over the transfer fee. Bayern are insisting on a fixed transfer fee of €50 million and want to add floating bonuses on top of that, while United are trying to negotiate more favorable conditions. At present, the two sides are still maintaining close communication, but the specific transfer agreement has not been officially signed.
Facing the uncertainty of the transfer, de Ligt showed great professionalism and positive attitude. Instead of letting the transfer rumors affect his mindset and training, he chose to devote himself to the upcoming matches with a professional attitude. In the next few weeks, De Ligt will go all out to prepare for the new season, honing his tactics and improving his understanding with his teammates to fight for Bayern Munich's honor.
The return of De Ligt has undoubtedly added an important piece to Bayern Munich's backline. As a strong and experienced defender, Derek not only has excellent defensive ability on the field, but also can contribute key goals and assists for the team at critical moments. His arrival will further enhance the overall strength of Bayern Munich and lay a solid foundation for the team to achieve better results in the new season.
