The possibility of Licht’s stay is expected as Bayern Munich was likely to release him.
German media Lan said on the 29th (local time), “Bayern Munich defender Ito has been absent from Bayern Munich’s game for several months due to his injury,” adding, “A significant number of Bayern Munich fans want De Ligt to stay at Bayern Munich.” More than 70,000 fans signed an online petition wanting De Ligt to stay. De Ligt is a center back of international stature despite his still quite young age. Recently, there was a review at Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich reportedly no longer agree to De Ligt’s sale.”
The media outlet said, “If De Ligt is sold, Bayern Munich has no alternative. Ito was injured. Bayern Munich’s recruitment of Jonathan Ta is getting more and more difficult. Manchester United is not willing to meet the 50 million euros that Bayern Munich wants with De Ligt’s transfer fee. Bayern Munich has only four center backs left, including Kim Min-jae, Upamecano, Dyer and De Ligt. The situation will become even more difficult if another injury or suspension occurs. De Ligt can play an important role. Bayern Munich must protect De Ligt.”
De Ligt is highly likely to move to Manchester United in the transfer market this summer, but Manchester United has recruited a new French defender, Yoro, in the transfer market this summer. Manchester United’s transfer negotiations between Manchester United and Bayern Munich are known to be sluggish amid steady rumors of recruiting Brentweight as well as De Ligt.
German media outlet Fusbalupa said on the 25th that De Ligt was angry with Bayern Munich. Manchester United had already offered Bayern Munich a deal for De Ligt, but it failed to meet Bayern Munich’s expectations. Manchester United offered Bayern Munich 30 million euros and an option of 5 million euros for De Ligt’s transfer fee. Bayern Munich demands 50 million euros for De Ligt’s transfer fee.
The media outlet said, “Bayern Munich’s demands really make De Ligt angry. De Ligt has made it clear to Bayern Munich’s management that he wants to transfer to Manchester United. The transfer fee that Bayern Munich demanded was too high, and De Ligt thought that Bayern Munich promised to lower the transfer fee. However, Bayern Munich broke its promise,” adding, “Manchester United should offer to increase the transfer fee to recruit De Ligt. Even if Manchester United offers a transfer fee of 40 million euros, there is a 10 million euro difference from the amount that Bayern Munich wants.”
Bayern Munich’s Japanese defender Ito, acquired in the transfer market this summer, was injured in a practice game against FC Duren (fourth division) on the 28th. Ito reportedly suffered a metatarsal fracture and could not play for about two months.
