According to reports, Juve is asking for significantly less transfer fee than previously thought.
Is everything going very quickly in the transfer poker for Matthijs de Ligt? Bayern have already agreed with the Dutchman on a change in the summer, and now they want to reach an agreement with Juventus Turin. As the “tz” reports, the people of Munich are going full throttle. Accordingly, Hasan Salihamidzic will travel to Italy tomorrow and start concrete transfer negotiations with Juventus there.

While numerous transfer fees have been circulating about a de Ligt change to FC Bayern in the past few days, it seems as if the 22-year-old central defender is cheaper than previously thought. As the Italian transfer insider Alfredo Pedulla revealed via Twitter on Sunday evening, “the old lady” is demanding 75-80 million euros as a fixed fee plus further bonus payments.
The pay TV broadcaster “Sky” recently reported that the first offer from Munich will amount to 50-60 million euros. The “Sky” expert Florian Plettenberg believes it is possible that the two clubs can agree on almost 70 million euros.
De Ligt himself waves a 5-year contract until 2027 on the Isar. Accordingly, the central defender should earn between 17-19 million euros per year in the future, which would make him one of the top earners on the Isar right away.
