Matthijs de Ligt of Bayern Munich seems close to sealing a move to Manchester United this summer. Following the Netherlands’ exit from the tournament, his future should soon be clarified.
Recent reports from RMC Sport indicate that PSG are keen on Matthijs de Ligt, who is currently contracted with Bayern until 2027, and view him as a key addition to their squad. However, new updates suggest Manchester United may have a stronger prospect of securing his signature.
However, Bayern Munich supporters don’t want the Dutch defender to leave the German side. Christian Falk reports that 68,000 Bayern Munich fans have signed a petition to stop de Ligt from leaving the club.

Recently, Sky Sport Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reported on Wednesday that Bayern Munich are set to discuss de Ligt soon after being eliminated from the Euros.
The club still plans to sell him, but they’re waiting to see what steps Manchester United will take next, as there’s no agreement between the clubs yet. This past 2023-24 season, de Ligt made 30 appearances for Bayern Munich, scoring two goals and registering one assist.
