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.
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?
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.
It feels like Manchester United will pay De Ligt cheaper than when De Ligt was brought in by Bayern Munich from Juventus. The reason is that De Ligt often doesn't get the chance, so if Manchester United pays for the same fee, it will be quite detrimental. Despite all that, Bayern Munich will still try to negotiate so that this transfer process runs smoothly and can bring in Jonathan Tah from Leverkusen without having to pay additional costs.
Apart from that, Bayern Munich still hopes that Xavi Simons will join them this summer, but the player said that he still wants to focus on Euro 2024 first so Bayern Munich will still wait for the answer until the competition is over. As is known, Xavi Simons is currently in Leipzig on a loan contract from PSG so if Leipzig offers another loan extension and Xavi Simons wants to stay at Leipzig then Bayern Munich will have to look for a new target for a left winger option.
