United look to have finally gotten their man.
Manchester United are set to sign Matthijs de Ligt in a £43m (€50m) deal as reported by David Ornstein.
The Red Devils have been chasing the Dutch defender for the last month and appear to have finally gotten their man.
The reported deal is set to be worth £39m (€45m) with £4.3m (€5m) in add-ons.
Subject to undergoing a medical, De Ligt is to join United on a five-year contract that includes the option to extend by an additional 12 months.
The 24-year-old has had an impressive career at such a young age, playing for Ajax, Juventus and Bayern Munich.
The centre-back is known for his aggressive style of defending and leadership skill, holding the honour of Ajax’s youngest-ever captain.
United have looked to capitalise on the defender falling out of favour at the German giants after he struggled for game time last year.
Last month De Ligt made it clear he wanted out of the Bavarian club and now it looks like he finally has his way out.
Meanwhile, Manchester United continue to make moves in the transfer window, after already signing Joshua Zirkzee and Lenny Yoro for a combined £90m.
They are now looking to secure a deal for De Ligt’s Bayern teammate Noussair Mazraoui for around £17m.
Meanwhile, Aaron Wan-Bissaka looks to be exiting Old Trafford with a move to West Ham on the cards.
