Real Madrid considering Bayern Munich defender swoop

Manchester United is reportedly pursuing a summer deal for 24-year-old Matthijs de Ligt, a defender for Bayern Munich, although La Liga giants Real Madrid are also considering it.

Defensa Central, a Spanish publication, has reported that Real Madrid is interested in Matthijs de Ligt. As the summer transfer window opens, the Merengues are looking for a center-back. They are also focusing on the 24-year-old defender from Bayern Munich who Manchester United is interested in.

When Matthijs de Ligt moved from Juventus to Bayern Munich in July 2022, his journey has been somewhat unpredictable. After making his breakthrough at Ajax and becoming the team’s youngest-ever captain in 2018, the Dutchman has become one of the most sought-after defenders in the world.

After departing from Ajax, the 24-year-old has had a turbulent journey, attempting to establish himself as Bayern Munich’s and Juventus’ first-choice center-back. But his reputation is still great even if he never manages to reach that goal. This season in particular, de Ligt has drawn interest from prestigious teams despite playing fewer than 900 minutes of games.

Matthijs de Ligt has been connected to a number of European powerhouses, including Barcelona, Arsenal, and Chelsea, according to many publications. However, Real Madrid’s involvement throws his other suitors—especially Manchester United, the former front-runner—into a bind.
