According to the latest report from renowned journalist James Ducker, Manchester United have taken a relatively cautious and rational approach in pursuing the transfer of Bayern Munich defenders Derek De Ligt and Mazrahi. Despite United's keen interest in the two players and their desire to strike a deal with Bayern, they do not intend to make a significant increase on the offers they have already made.
Behind this strategy is a deep understanding and grasp of the current situation in the transfer market. First of all, the status quo of Delicht and Mazrahi in Bayern has shown that they are no longer non-saleable and have received a notice that they can leave the team. This reduces the difficulty of United's negotiations to a certain extent, but it also means that Bayern may be more flexible in selling these two players and will not easily accept offers below market value.
Secondly, United have received a clear rejection from Bayern after making a packaged offer. This feedback made United realize that simply raising the offer might not be enough to impress the Bayern management. As a result, United chose to stick to their guns and not blindly raise the price, instead waiting for a more suitable time or seeking other ways to push the transfer through.
In addition, United also need to take into account the team's overall financial situation and transfer strategy. In the current highly competitive transfer market, every transaction needs to be carefully calculated to ensure the long-term stable development of the team. Therefore, Manchester United has adopted a relatively conservative attitude towards the transfer of De Ligt and Mazrahi, also for the consideration of the interests of the whole club.
