I understand that initial discussions areframed around a €40m package. De Ligt is open to the move, the overall cost of the deal islower than United anticipated when De Ligt first came under consideration in March.
Negotiations on personal terms are proceeding well to sign the 24-year old Dutch defender andManchester United are now in formal talks with Bayern Munich to sign Matthijs De Ligt.
With Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite too expensive, and Nice’s Jean-Clair Todibo not possible,United are currently focused on De Ligt, although reports state they could add two moredefenders to their ranks.
De Ligt is keen on joining Manchester United as reported, even with no Champions Leaguefootball next season.
