Transfer Talk: PSG, Man United, Barca all want De Ligt
Posted Saturday, February 03, 2024 by ESPN
Bayern Munich managed to fend off interest from Paris Saint-Germain in defender Matthijs de Ligt in January, but Bild reports the French side will return and try again in the summer.
L'Equipe had reported that the 24-year-old wasn't keen on a winter move despite PSG coach Luis Enrique looking to bolster his injury-hit back line. Furthermore, Bayern were eager to block the move due to their own defensive frailties as they look to close out a season where they have been unable to top Bayer Leverkusen on the table.
Now, though, Bild reports the Bavarians will find it harder to keep De Ligt if the Parisiens return at the end of the season -- and there might be even more competition to sign the defender.
Manchester United and Barcelona also reported to be interested in De Ligt. Both clubs have defensive issues, and Man United may have the inside track to bring in the centre-back since manager Erik Ten Hag previously coached him at Ajax.
Matthijs de Ligt has attracted the interest of Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and FC Barcelona.
