Bayern Munich defender Matthijs de Ligt is expected to leave the club at the end of the season and Manchester United are one of his ‘favourite’ destinations, according to L’Equipe via Fichajes.
The 24-year-old defender has been linked with a move away from Bayern in recent months with Man Utd, PSG and Barcelona among the clubs strongly linked.
Fichajes are citing a report from the print version of L’Equipe as saying that De Ligt has rejected the possibility of joining PSG as he favours a move to Man Utd or Barcelona if he does leave Bayern in the summer.
Munich for a fee of around £68 million in the summer of 2022. He is now valued at around £55m but it remains to be seen how much Bayern will want if he’s to leave at the end of the season.
The Dutch international has a contract with the German club until the summer of 2027 and therefore Bayern Munich are under no pressure to let him leave for a knockdown price.
