However, Bayern’s sporting director, Max Eberl, may need to adjust this price to finalize the deal.

Erik ten Hag, who previously worked with De Ligt at Ajax, is keen on reuniting with the Dutch center-back to bolster United’s defense.
Bayern Munich had initially set a transfer fee of £42.9 million (€50 million) for De Ligt, but they are reportedly under pressure to finalize the sale, which might lead to a slight adjustment in the price. The sale of De Ligt is also linked to Bayern’s pursuit of Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen, indicating that Bayern is preparing for a defensive reshuffle.
The timing of this deal is critical for Manchester United, as they are set to face Manchester City in the Community Shield match. However, they will be without their new signing, Leny Yoro, due to an injury.

As of now, De Ligt is expected to undergo his medical examination shortly, and upon completion, he will likely be unveiled as Manchester United’s latest signing, potentially wearing an iconic jersey number at the club.
