Revealed: Bayern’s Asking Price For Mathijs De Ligt As Utd Open Talks

Bayern Munich have named their asking price for Matthijs de Ligt with Manchester United concrete interest in the dutch center-back.

After the board final decision to keep Erik ten Hag as manager United are now pressing ahead with their transfer business as they look to strengthen a squad which finished a lowly eighth in the Premier League last season.

Bayern reveals De Ligt’s asking price

United saw an opening offer of £35m for primary target Jarrad Branthwaite rejected earlier this week, with Everton wanting in the region of £70m for the 21-year-old.

Man Utd have no intentions to get close to Everton’s price tag for Branthwaite, with Utd certain they can get him for a relatively lesser fee.

The Red Devils are also interested in Lille’s Leny Yoro, although it’s believed that Real Madrid are favourites to land the teenager.

Sky Germany report that De Ligt, who Bayern are believed to be willing to sell this summer are looking for around £42m plus bonuses for the Dutch international.

The report adds that United have already started internal discussions over a move for De Ligt who played under Ten Hag during his time at Ajax.
