- Manchester United in talks with Matthijs de Ligt
- The player wants to move to Old Trafford.
- The Red Devils are looking for suitable options to improve their backline.
Fabrizio Romano, a famous Italian football journalist, reported that Manchester United, a giant club in the English Premier League, is in the process of negotiating with Matthijs de Ligt, a defender from Bayern Munich, and the player himself also wants to move to join the ” Red Devils”.
Romano said: “De Ligt is only negotiating with Manchester United. No other clubs are intervening at the moment because he is focused on moving to Old Trafford. However, the Red Devils have another name on their list, with the only player they have made an offer for so far being Everton ‘s Jarrad Branthwaite .”
“They had a bid of £35m rejected with add-ons, but of course United’s interest in the player remains and it’s up to Everton because they still want £65m-70m for the player, which is too much for United. But if the price changes they are open to re-negotiating immediately.”
“Even with De Ligt joining, it is still possible for United to sign another centre-back. It depends on the budget and the opportunity, but it is possible. The ยูฟ่าเบท future of Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and others depends on whether the right offer comes in this summer.”
“But I think another centre-back is a possibility. Branthwaite is still on the list, but United have no plans to pay £70m, so the only way a move could happen is for Everton to come down on their asking price.”
