Over the course of the summer, Bayern Munich have made their intentions of selling Matthijs de Ligt this summer abundantly clear.
Thus far, Manchester United are the only side to have expressed an interest in the Dutch international, but the Premier League outfit are yet to reach an agreement with Der Rekordmeister.
It is understood that should the two clubs agree on a fee for de Ligt’s signature, then personal terms would not be an issue.
However, as previously reported, United are not willing to match Bayern’s valuation of the defender.
The record champions are refusing to budge on their demand of €50 million for De Ligt, meaning his future is still up in the air.
Nevertheless, it is currently unknown why Bayern are looking to offload the former Juventus defender this summer, having performed consistently for the club over the past two years.
Regardless, speaking to Sky Germany at Bayern’s training camp in Seoul, South Korea, Director of Sport Max Eberl explained that he will wait to comment on why the club have placed de Ligt on the transfer list.
“I will comment on that when the time comes. It’s not that time yet. Matthijs played very well here for two years, and that’s why many fans like him. Nevertheless, you have to think about how you decide and also how the boy feels. He is still a player for FC Bayern. And as long as he is, he will get all the support from us.”
