Munich – FC Bayern does not have enough after the transfer of Sadio Mané.

Another top star of international format is to come.

Matthijs de Ligt (22) from Juventus Turin has particularly caught the eye of sports director Hasan Salihamidzic.

The central defender became captain at Ajax Amsterdam at the age of 18 and is to become the new chief of defense at the record champions.

The Bayern bosses have already secured the financial means for the transfer.

FC Bayern: De Ligt should become the new chief of defense – is Upamecano going to England?

But a commitment from de Ligt could also get the transfer carousel going again at Bayern.

As the portal

90min.de reports

, citing sources from England, Chelsea are said to be interested in a transfer from Dayot Upamecano (23).

The Frenchman only switched from RB Leipzig to FC Bayern last summer together with coach Julian Nagelsmann for 42.5 million euros.

However, the defender is now on Brazzo's long sell list.

There are increasing indications that the 23-year-old will leave FCB.

FC Bayern on de Ligt: Upamecano first changes the consultant – and now the club?

Only recently Upamecano also changed his advisor, which fueled the rumors of a change.

According to reports, the Bayern bosses should not trust any of the current central defenders to play the role of defense chief.

However, the advantage for the opponents Lucas Hernández and Benjamin Pavard is their high level of flexibility: The trained central defender Pavard usually played at right-back at FC Bayern, Hernández can also play on the left-hand side of defence.

Upamecano, on the other hand, only plays in the centre.

FC Bayern: Upamecano is on Brazzo's strike list - will Chelsea meet the transfer requirement?

If Matthijs de Ligt were to sign up, the chances of Upamecano playing would be significantly lower.

In his debut season, the Frenchman made a few mistakes, which is why he had to sit on the bench more and more often.

Whether the role as a backup is enough for the youngster is more than questionable.

Especially before the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, the central defender is dependent on playing time.
