The British Manchester Evening News reported on the 7th (Korea time) that “De Ligt is on a clear path to transfer to Manchester United. Bayern Munich agreed with Leverkusen to recruit defender Jonathan Ta to replace De Ligt,” adding that “Bayern Munich will only complete the recruitment of Jonathan Ta after De Ligt is sold.”
The media said, “Bayern Munich is preparing for De Ligt’s transfer. He is currently taking a hardline stance on moving to Manchester United, but it is only a matter of time before De Ligt becomes a Manchester United player.”

Manchester Evening News said, “Manchester United is also preparing an iconic jersey number for De Ligt.” De Ligt played for Ajax and Bayern Munich with No. 4 and wore No. 3 for the Dutch national team at Euro 2024. Manchester United is vacant three times after Bailey, who used No. 3 last year, left the team. He also mentioned that No. 4 is the number used by Amrabat, who played on loan with Manchester United last season.

Manchester United also had a gap in the first three months of the season due to the injury of new defender Yoro, who was recruited ahead of the 2024-25 season. The British Athletic said on the 6th that “Manchester United did not want to keep Yoro’s injury a secret and put him at a disadvantage in the De Ligt transfer negotiations with Bayern Munich,” but added, “Manchester United had to announce Yoro’s injury as a picture of him on crutches was leaked.”

German media FCB Inside said, “Bayern Munich has been aware of Yoro’s injury since the leakage of his photo. Bayern Munich does not want to transfer De Ligt below the market value. Bayern Munich mentioned that they do not want De Ligt’s transfer fee to be less than 50 million euros.” It also said, “It is not yet known how much Yoro’s injury will affect De Ligt’s possible transfer, but Manchester United are under pressure to recruit a new center back due to Yoro’s injury.”안전놀이터

German media outlet Fusbalupa said last month, “De Ligt got angry with Bayern Munich. Manchester United has already offered Bayern Munich a deal for De Ligt, but it did not meet Bayern Munich’s expectations. Manchester United offered Bayern Munich 30 million euros and an option of 5 million euros for De Ligt’s transfer. Bayern Munich demands 50 million euros for De Ligt’s transfer fee.”

The media outlet said, “Bayern Munich’s demand really makes De Ligt angry. De Ligt has made it clear to Bayern Munich’s management that he wants to move to Manchester United. The transfer fee that Bayern Munich demanded was too high, and De Ligt believed that Bayern Munich promised to lower the transfer fee. However, Bayern Munich broke its promise. Manchester United should make an offer by increasing the transfer fee to recruit De Ligt. Even if Manchester United offers a transfer fee of 40 million euros, there is a difference of 10 million euros from the amount that Bayern Munich wants.”
