Matthias der Licht wants a move this summer, even if it’s not to Manchester United.
“Der Licht has decided to leave Bayern Munich, regardless of whether he joins Manchester United or not,” Florian Plettenberg was quoted as saying by Germany’s TZ on Monday.
United are looking to strengthen their defense in the summer transfer window. It’s a position that has been riddled with injuries this season and has often exposed their defensive insecurities. Raphael Varane has already been confirmed to leave the club as a free agent, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Viktor Lindelof have also been linked with departures.
In defense, the first priority is the center back line. There were several options, but the one that seemed to make the most sense was Munich’s Der Licht. The player wanted to join United and the price was relatively low compared to 카지노 커뮤니티 other options.
That changed recently when United announced the signing of Lenny Yoro. The signing of Der Licht, who was considered a top target, has become unclear. It’s possible that more defensive additions will be made, but only after the funds are available. For now, it’s unclear.
Nevertheless, Der Licht wants out. A petition with 70,000 signatures in favor of his stay hasn’t changed his mind. The club also want to sell him to make room for Jonathan Tah and to raise funds. United’s signing of Yoro has only slightly complicated things. It seems that both sides’ plans will not be disrupted.
Meanwhile, De Ligt reportedly doesn’t want to move to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) if he does. “Der Licht has ruled out PSG from his list of clubs he would move to,” the media outlet said.
