: ‘World-Class’ Star Wants £200,000-a-Week Deal to Join Man Utd! 💥 Manchester United fans, brace yourselves! An elite talent is eyeing a sensational move to Old Trafford. With his sights set on a staggering £200,000-a-week deal, this world-class player could be the game-changer the Red Devils need. Can United secure his signature and elevate their squad to new heights? Stay tuned for more updates on this thrilling transfer saga!
Matthijs de Ligt is aiming for a contract that would surpass the earnings of Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, and Leny Yoro if he transfers to Manchester United. However, the club is wary of the overall financial commitment needed to acquire the Dutch international from Bayern Munich.
The Red Devils are deliberating whether to make a new proposal after Bayern Munich rejected their initial double bid for de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui. According to sources from GIVEMESPORT, Manchester United are concerned about the hefty financial outlay involved in signing de Ligt, particularly since the defender is seeking a substantial salary at Old Trafford.
Manchester United have been proactive in the transfer market, securing teenage defender Leny Yoro for £58.9 million from Lille last month. However, manager Erik ten Hag is still searching for additional reinforcements before the August 30 deadline. Unfortunately, Yoro has been sidelined for three months due to a fractured metatarsal sustained in pre-season, prompting sporting director Dan Ashworth to pursue another centre-back.
The club is finding it challenging to secure de Ligt, as they are unwilling to pay more than £45 million plus add-ons, especially after their recent expenditure on Yoro. Manchester United’s frustration is compounded by Bayern Munich’s rejection of their double offer, despite hopes that the proposal would meet the Bundesliga club’s expectations, considering de Ligt’s status as surplus to requirements.
Sources indicate that de Ligt is looking for a weekly wage of around £200,000 and has already verbally agreed to join Manchester United, provided personal terms and a transfer fee can be settled. However, the club is cautious about overspending after their recent significant investment in Yoro.
