KIM Teammate De Ligt Isn't Man Utd's No. 1 Center Back Signing United's even more shocking Plan B
Shocker. Matthijs de Ligt wasn't Manchester United's number one choice for center back reinforcements. He wasn't even the second choice.
'Bayern Munich's Mathis De Ligt is not at the top of Manchester United's transfer list,' the English publication The Athletic reported on Tuesday, adding, 'United need to strengthen their center backs after Raphael Varane left the club last season. Victor Lindelof is also likely to leave. United's top priority is reportedly 22-year-old Everton central defender Jared Bransway.
The outlet reports that 'De Ligt is expected to leave Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window. The key Bayern Munich center back is on the list of players that new boss Vincent Kompany is considering selling," adding, "De Ligt had been expected to reunite with United boss Eric ten Haag. However, United's eyes are elsewhere".
'United's top priority this summer is to sign Branswaite. Everton are demanding a fee of £70 million. United are expected to negotiate to reduce the fee," and "If they miss out on Branswaite, they are targeting Crystal Palace center back Mark Geoghee, not De Ligt. It is highly unlikely that De Ligt will join United. The shocking part is that not only is he not United's first-choice signing, but he's not even their Plan B.
Bayern Munich and De Ligt are parting ways.
On April 16, German publication TZ reported that the future of Matthijs de Ligt at FC Bayern Munich is uncertain. Since joining the Bavarians from Juventus, De Ligt hasn't 안전놀이터 been the defensive leader he was expected to be. Bayern Munich are revamping their defense under Vincent Kompany. De Ligt has been labeled a transfer target. Bayern Munich have signed Hiroki Ito, while Bayer Leverkusen's Jonathan Tah is also expected to join.
A teammate of Kim's, De Licht is currently playing for the Netherlands at Euro 2024. He is playing as a first-choice center back and is coy about his future destination.
This season, he was sidelined early in the season due to injury. However, after recovering from his injury, he was Bayern Munich's first-choice center back at the end of the season.
After Vincent Kompany's appointment, local media predicted that De Ligt would become the leader of the defense, but the situation has changed dramatically.
Kompany doesn't trust the existing defense at all, and he's undergoing a major overhaul of the defense. De Ligt is on the transfer list, and it's unclear how Kim Min-Jae will fit in.
