Manchester United agree deal with Bayern Munich for Matthijs de Ligt

Manchester United have reached an agreement with Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich for the transfer of Matthijs de Ligt, according to The Athletic.

The deal is valued at €45 million, with an additional €5 million in potential add-ons.

Pending a medical examination, Matthijs de Ligt is set to join Manchester United on a five-year contract, with an option for an extra 12 months.

The 24-year-old, previously with Juventus and Ajax, will bring youthful experience and high-level defensive prowess to Erik ten Hag’s squad.

In a separate transaction, Bayern Munich have agreed to a €15 million deal plus €5 million in bonuses with Manchester United for full-back Noussair Mazraoui.

This transfer is contingent on Aaron Wan-Bissaka, 26, leaving Manchester United.

West Ham United have agreed on a £15 million fee with Manchester United for Wan-Bissaka, though discussions are ongoing regarding the contract length.

The transfer is also dependent on Wan-Bissaka finalising his departure from Manchester United.

A medical at West Ham is scheduled for Sunday or Monday.

Wan-Bissaka has made 190 first-team appearances for Manchester United since his initial £45 million move from Crystal Palace in 2019.
