This will be quite an interesting exchange of players where De Ligt is reportedly closer to joining Manchester United and has already received the green light to leave, but on the other hand, Bayern Munich will not feel confused about him being left behind because they will get a suitable replacement, namely Jonathan Tah. Maybe Jonathan Tah's name is rarely heard of, but it is also thanks to him that Leverkusen can become Bundesliga champions this season and it is clear that Bayern Munich's defense will be even stronger if they succeed in signing him.
It looks like everything is heading towards De Ligt transfer to Manchester United, despite the fact that he has a contract with Bayern until 2027, they are ready to let him go, I would also like to know the amount of the deal because Bayern bought him for 67.5 million. Ten Hag remains committed to his idea of creating a young team, but by the way, despite his young age, De Ligt is a very experienced player. I think the reason Kompany is willing to let De Ligt go is because he needs more faster players in the team.
Regarding price, De Ligt can be considered a reasonable choice. Bayern Munich is now ready to sell this midfielder. De Ligt is determined to leave to save his career while Bayern Munich also wants to sell De Ligt to have enough funds to buy midfielder Jonathan Tah from Leverkusen. Above all, De Ligt worked under coach Erik ten Hag at Ajax Amsterdam. Familiarity with Ten Hag's football style and philosophy will help this star easily integrate into the MU squad. If the deal is successful, coach Ten Hag must quickly help Matthijs de Ligt regain his form. He experienced unforgettable days at EURO 2024.
On the other hand, Jonathan Tah really wants to join Bayern Munich and is starting to show his interest so that Bayern Munich will be very happy to accept him. Maybe Jonathan Tah also thinks that Leverkusen will not be able to repeat the same success next season and it is time for him to leave to gain experience at a bigger club.
How do you see Jonathan Tah joining in the future? Does he suit Bayern Munich's style of play?
I find Jonathan Tah very suitable to replace De Ligt in Bayern's squad. If Jonathan Tah is successfully recruited, it will be good news for MU. At 28, Jonathan Tah is in his prime as a centec-back, combining experience with physical strength, making him the ideal candidate for Bayern's ambitions. A five-year contract is said to await Jonathan Tah at Bayern Munich if the deal goes through.
