According to Bild-Zeitung.
Manchester United Football Club
The soccer club is actively pursuing a partnership with
Bayern
Munich's transfer talks over Driehlt and is willing to pay the €50 million transfer fee offered by Bayern to expedite the completion of the deal.
United want to quickly finalize Driehlt's signing after the upcoming Europa League and are therefore prepared to meet Bayern's sporting director Eberl's asking price, which consists of a basic transfer fee of €50 million plus possible bonus clauses.
United boss Jens Ten Hahn is a great admirer of the 24-year-old Dutch center-back, and the two worked together during their Ajax days, when Driecht even became the youngest captain in the club's history. Drieght has reportedly made it clear to ten Hahn and Bayern that he only wants to join United.
The news of Drieght's possible departure has left Bayern fans disappointed and angry, with over 66,000 people taking part in an online petition calling on the club to keep the key player. However, current indications are that Drieht's departure from Bayern is highly unlikely.
Bayern's new manager Vincent Kompany seems ready to rely on Pamecano rather than Drieght, while he is also looking to sign Leverkusen's center-back Jonatan Tah. With United pushing aggressively, Drieht's future seems to be leaning more and more towards Old Trafford. The final outcome of this deal will be closely watched by soccer fans around the world.
