Liverpool should think about a hijack after Man Utd received approval for a $54 million transfer

Uli Hoeness, the head coach of Bayern Munich, has acknowledged that one of his players may depart this summer. Liverpool should take Manchester United’s recent linkage into consideration.

Uli Hoeness, the top brass of Bayern Munich, has suggested that Matthijs de Ligt may be leaving this summer, with Manchester United reportedly keeping an eye on him. Even after United’s recent coup in acquiring Leny Yoro, the 24-year-old Dutch international has been the focus of considerable rumours linking him with a move to the Red Devils.

Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, and De Ligt have a common past from their time at Ajax, and it’s thought that De Ligt might be amenable to moving back to the Premier League to rejoin him. United still wants to add a great defender to their roster, even though their next goal is to strengthen their midfield—that is, if they can raise the necessary money through player sales.

Hoeness’s remarks have sparked further speculation that De Ligt would move to Old Trafford. Hoeness pondered the club’s transfer plan during the weekend, stating: “It’s possible that a defender will leave” (via the Daily Mirror). The coach of Manchester United is Dutch, as is De Ligt. I wouldn’t mind if he stayed. In my opinion, I wouldn’t sell Upamecano.

Yoro and Lisandro Martinez are expected to work well together at the centre of Manchester United’s defence, but if they are able to trade Victor Lindelof, the Red Devils may still need a centre defender. The estimated worth of De Ligt is $54 million (£42 million/€50 million).

Regarding the current talks for De Ligt, Ten Hag has been transparent, saying to the Dutch publication Algemeen Dagblad: “We still have to wait and see whether De Ligt will come.” The good news is that I was able to step away from the process for three or four weeks on my vacation. These players were primarily recruited at that time by the club’s recently formed scouting and recruitment department.”

“It’s actually a coincidence that there are Dutch players among them,” he continued. These were mostly players that our organisation brought in. at be clear, I do support them, but we still come at a decision together.”

According to Liverpool.com, De Ligt hasn’t exactly developed into the centre back that many had anticipated, but in that particular trade, Liverpool may be able to find some value. While he was at Ajax, he was regarded in high regard; all he needs to do is find the proper team and coach to bring out his potential.

Considering that he has prior experience at Bayern Munich and Juventus, his pay could be the sticking point. For Liverpool, De Ligt may be a good alternative if his pay demands were fair. It most definitely has to be thinking about bringing in a defender before Arne Slot’s first season as manager.
