According to the latest news from Football Insider, Dutch international De Ligt has privately expressed to a friend his strong desire to join Manchester United as soon as possible. This statement undoubtedly adds more momentum to the ongoing transfer negotiations. It is reported that United and Bayern Munich are in deep discussions over the transfer of de Ligt, and it is expected that the total value of the deal could be as high as 50 million pounds.
De Ligt's transfer prospects have brightened up thanks in large part to the fact that Bayern have reached an agreement in principle with Leverkusen over the transfer of another player, Tha. The success of this deal frees up some of Bayern's transfer funds and could prompt them to release De Ligt, paving the way for Manchester United to bring in the top center back.
United are optimistic about De Ligt joining the club, and they believe that Ta joining Bayern will speed up the process of De Ligt's departure from the club. As an important member of the Dutch national team, De Ligt's excellent defensive ability and leadership qualities on the field have made him the target of many big teams. Manchester United sees him as their first choice to strengthen their defense, especially considering that their newest addition, Jolo, will be out for at least three months due to injury.
Ten Hagar, as the manager of Manchester United, has very high requirements for the solidity of the team's defense. He knows that the addition of De Ligt will greatly improve the team's defensive strength and provide the team with more options in the backline. Therefore, Manchester United is doing its best to promote the completion of this deal, with a view to building an impregnable backline for the team before the start of the new season.
