The Hunt for Matthijs de Ligt Between Bayern Munich and Chelsea
By db-admin
DBasia.news – Reportedly, Bayern Munich are now participating in the hunt for Matthijs de Ligt.
Matthijs de Ligt is one of the players linked with leaving Juventus. The Dutch defender reportedly wants to feel a new challenge. Moreover, he has also experienced the Scudetto title.
Juventus are open to the option of selling the 22-year-old player. However, Juve has set a high value and did not accept player swaps to relieve cash. Reportedly, Juve’s expected price is around 80 million euros.
One of the clubs targeting De Ligt is Chelsea. The Blues need at least one new defender following the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen. If Rudiger joins Real Madrid, Christensen heads to Barcelona.
De Ligt is included in one of the alternatives along with two other players namely Milan Skriniar and Kalidou Koulibaly. Thomas Tuchel has given approval to complete the transfer.
However, now Chelsea should be wary of Bayern Munich as Die Roten also showed interest in De Ligt. In fact, there has been communication established.
However, Gianluca Di Marzio revealed that it remains to be seen whether Bayern are willing to pay the dowry according to Juventus’ expectations.
Meanwhile, Matthijs de Ligt is more interested in the Premier League than the Bundesliga. He wants to try out the Premier League which is considered the best league at the moment.
