FC Bayern has the next star on the line in Matthijs de Ligt. However, there is still a long way to go before the Dutchman is transferred. Without the active help of the defender, Munich could end up empty-handed despite all efforts.
The sticking point in poker for the Dutch international is and remains the transfer fee. FC Bayern would dig deep into their pockets for de Ligt, but the German record champions cannot and do not want to pull the exit clause of 120 million euros. Even the 70 million euros demanded by Juve are too much for Munich.
At other clubs, the millions are more relaxed. These clubs include Chelsea, which would willingly pay the 70 million euros. FC Bayern is therefore dependent on de Ligt’s help in transfer poker, as reported by “Sport Bild”. The reason: Only if the defender really wants to go to Munich and insists on a move to the Bundesliga champions will Bayern get the contract in the end.
The transfer of Sadio Mané showed that this scenario is not unlikely. The Senegalese also had offers from other clubs. But because he absolutely wanted to go to Munich, Bayern secured his services at a comparatively low price. This is exactly what the record champion is now hoping for in the case of de Ligt.
FC Bayern has another trump card in de-ligt poker
In addition, according to “Sport Bild”, there is another trump card in poker for the central defender. Like new signings Gravenberch and Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt is represented by the agency of recently deceased agent Mino Raiola. The wire to Munich is accordingly still hot.
Decisive for Munich’s interest in de Ligt is not only its sporting quality, but also its mentality. As reported by “Sport Bild”, this is a point that Hasan Salihamidzic and Oliver Kahn want to pay particular attention to on the transfer market. And with his desire to move to the Isar, the Dutchman fulfills this requirement one hundred percent.
