Man United have offered significantly less than De Ligt’s asking price

Manchester United have so far offered less than less €40m for Matthijs de Ligt with Bayern Munich wanting €50m plus bonuses according to Florian Plettenberg.

United have identified defence as an area they are looking to strengthen and have already completed the signing of teenage centre back Leny Yoro from Lille.

The Red Devils have had two bids rejected for Jarrad Branthwaite with Everton wanting £70m for the 22-year-old, and it appears unlikely United are willing to pay that much.

De Ligt has been identified as another target and he’s said to be keen on a move to Old Trafford whilst it’s been reported that Ten Hag is open to a reunion with the 24-year-old who he managed during his time at Ajax.

United appeared to be making good progress on a deal, but things have seemingly slowed down in their pursuit of the Dutch international.

He took to X.com and said:

“So far, Manchester United are offering significantly less than €40m for Matthijs de Ligt! FC Bayern have rejected every offer so far.

“They are firm about not negotiating on this. ManUtd (or another club) have to pay €50m plus bonus payments. De Ligt‘s sale price is an important internal issue. In this regard, Max Eberl must and should remain firm.”
