Manchester United and Bayern Munich have finally agreed a deal for Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui, as the club will pull off a sensational double-whammy by signing Erik ten Hag’s two old defense targets of the season. next.
The English giants have finally reached an agreement with Bayern for centre-back De Ligt, who will come to Old Trafford for €50m (£43m) and will soon undergo a medical. The “red devils” will pay around 38 million pounds basic figure and 5 million pounds will be the bonuses. The Netherlands star defender was a key target for Ten Hag this summer and he has agreed to sign a five-year contract that includes the option to extend for a further 12 months.
Bayern have also accepted a £17m bid from the Red Devils for full-back Mazraui, which was a £13m bid plus a further £4m in bonuses, enough to secure the 26-year-old. This move, however, depends on the departure of Aron Wan-Bissaka from Old Trafford. But even this agreement is a formality. Because West Ham have agreed to pay a £15m fee for the United full-back, but talks are ongoing over the length of his deal with the Londoners. Wan-Bisska is expected to pass his medical with his future club in a matter of hours.
The 26-year-old joined United from Cryistal Palasi in 2019 and has since made 190 appearances for the first team. He has only one year left on his current contract at “Theatre of Dreams”. Securing the services of De Ligt, once an Ajax and Juventus talent, represents a huge boost for Ten Hag just before United kick off the new Premier League season against Fulham this Friday. Both Ten Hag and De Ligt are represented by the same manager, Rafaela Pimenta.
