Real Madrid and Manchester United Compete for Matthijs de Ligt

Real Madrid’s interest in de Ligt makes sense, according to thethehardtackle report, given that they are looking for a centre defender. The Merengues need a younger centre back in the starting lineup since David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger, and Nacho are all older than thirty. Therefore, Real Madrid now has a legitimate chance to pursue the Dutch defender.

According to recent rumours, Manchester United is in the lead in the fight to sign him. Due to doubts about Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire, and Victor Lindelof’s futures, the Red Devils are looking for a right-footed center-back. Thus, Lisandro Martinez’s long-term central defensive partner may be Matthijs de Ligt.

Real Madrid’s arrival, as previously said, complicates things for de Ligt’s other suitors since most players are drawn to Los Blancos. For that reason, if the 24-year-old departs Bayern Munich during the summer transfer window, it will be intriguing to see where he makes his living.
