Attention transfer fans: As the pay-TV broadcaster “Sky” reports, FC Bayern should have the next superstar on the line. He should follow Niklas Süle.
The German record champions Bayern Munich have apparently struck gold in their search for a suitable boss for the center of defence. As reported by Sky, sports director Hasan Salihamidzic is working on signing Dutch international Matthijs de Ligt from Juventus Turin.
Chelsea are also said to be interested
The 22-year-old central defender is said to want to move to Munich, but Bayern would have to dig deep into their pockets for a transfer. De Ligt still has a contract in Turin until 2024, Juventus should only be ready to talk from a transfer fee of 80 million euros. Team manager Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea should also show interest in the Dutchman.
After the free transfer of Niklas Sül to rival Borussia Dortmund, coach Julian Nagelsmann is looking for a new head of defense. In Munich, de Ligt would meet his compatriot Ryan Gravenberch, whom the record champions have already introduced as a new signing for the new season alongside star signing Sadio Mané and Moroccan Noussair Mazraoui.
