The Transfer Rumors of Matthias de Ligt
Manchester United manager Erik ten-Hach opened up about the rumor of Matthias de Ligt's transfer.
Fabrizio Romano, a reporter who was fluent in the news of the European soccer transfer market, delivered Manchester United coach Ten Haq's remarks on his SNS on the 20th. He gave a cautious answer, saying, "We still have to see whether De Ligt will transfer."
De Ligt is a Dutch central defender. He joined Munich ahead of the 2022-23 season after playing for Ajax and Juventus. He had a lot of expectations when he joined, but his performance was disappointing.
De Ligt showed off his good condition by scoring three goals and one assist in 43 matches in the first season. His condition rapidly deteriorated from the last season. Due to injury and sluggish performance, he ended up with only two goals and one assist in 30 matches. His position was not clear to call him a starting member.
Munich is reorganizing its defense line up ahead of the 2024-25 season. Ito Hiroki, a Japanese defender who showed good performance for Stuttgart. Josip Stanisic, who gained experience with Leverkusen on loan last season, also signed a long-term contract with Munich. Rumors are rising that Leverkusen defender Jonathan Downer will move to Munich.
De Licht is the player who is most likely to leave in a situation where the defense has to be sorted out. Fortunately, Manchester United was interested. Manchester United had a lot of injuries in its defense last season. Not only this, but it also needed a leader to lead the defense.
"De Ligt is one of Munich's candidates for sale this summer. Rumors are circulating that Manchester United are interested in him. Munich wants to have talks with him after Euro 2024," the German team said.
"München is in contact with Manchester United for De Ligt's transfer. Manchester United has already started negotiations with Pimenta agent. De Ligt is willing to move to Manchester United," said the German newspaper Sky Sports.
He said that coach Erik ten Hag wanted De Ligt, who he connected with during the Ajax era. "Coach ten Hag wants him no matter what the cost. He can leave if he receives an offer of 50 million euros (75.7 billion won). There is no complete agreement yet," he added.
Recently, the transfer seemed to be getting closer. Florian Flettenberg, who is fluent in the news of Munich, said, "De Ligt has made up his mind. The transfer is getting closer. The two clubs are talking directly and negotiating. Manchester United has not yet offered the transfer fee that Munich wants."
Things drastically changed, however. Manchester United has recruited Lenny Lloro, one of the most promising defensive players in France. Lloro received good reviews as he played in a friendly match for the pre-season right after joining the team. For Manchester United, it is a burden to spend a lot of money on two defenders.
Against this backdrop, Ten Hag opened his mouth. "We still have to see whether De Ligt will come or not. I know him well. I wanted to sign him two years ago, but he has already decided to join Munich. Believe it or not, his name does not come from me," he said. 토토사이트 모음
