Man United ‘propose’ big Rasmus Hojlund transfer swap deal as £45m conversations held with Matthijs de Ligt price revealed Over the past few days, United has been strongly connected to the defender and is rumored to have contacted both Bayern and the player. However, as of yet, the club has not made a formal offer.
Dan Ashworth, formerly of Newcastle United, has been appointed as the club’s new technical director.
Bayern Munich has reportedly set a price of €50 million (£42.5 million) plus bonuses for Matthijs de Ligt in response to interest from Manchester United, as per Sky Sports Germany. United has been strongly linked with the defender recently and has allegedly reached out to both Bayern and the player, although no formal offer has been made yet.
Having previously worked with Erik ten Hag at Ajax, De Ligt is reportedly one of Manchester United’s primary targets this transfer window.
According to MEN Sport, Manchester United’s pursuit of Matthijs de Ligt has intensified throughout the summer, indicating a proactive approach from the club.
Following Raphael Varane’s departure, Erik ten Hag is keen to bolster his defensive options and views De Ligt as a familiar and valuable addition.
Bayern’s openness to selling De Ligt at a £42.5 million valuation presents a promising opportunity for United, especially considering the higher costs associated with other defensive targets like Everton’s Jarred Branthwaite.
Meanwhile, reports from Italy suggest Manchester United have proposed a surprising swap deal involving Rasmus Hojlund to Napoli as part of a bid for Victor Osimhen. Osimhen, who has attracted interest from multiple clubs and holds a £110 million release clause, remains a key target for United ahead of the upcoming season.
