De Ligt nears Bayern Munich move

Sadio Mane and Ryan Gravenberch are potentially transformative signings for Bayern, and they apparently are not done just yet.

According to reports, Gravenberch’s international team-mate is doing to what he can to force a move to Sabener Strasse.

Bayern Munich are reportedly edging closer to securing the signature of wantaway Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt, according to Bild.

De Ligt is reportedly willing to lower his wage demands in order to help force through a move, after a gap in expectations between the two clubs over the initial offer.

Bayern’s proposal to the Bianconeri was reportedly €70million with an extra €10m in bonuses, with the latter looking at €80m as a base to any package.

De Ligt’s move to lower wage expectations gives the reigning Bundesliga champions added leverage over Juventus, who after Paulo Dybala’s departure, would not want to see another star run down their contract.
