Update from July 13, 1:32 p.m .:

Matthijs de Ligt’s move to Bayern Munich is getting closer.

Apparently, the deal should go ahead this week so that the defender can go on the US tour with the record champions on July 18.

However, no agreement has yet been reached with Juventus on a transfer fee.

Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic has long since obtained the player's commitment - thanks to his persistent transfer strategy.

The Bavarians are said to have left such a lasting impression on the Dutchman that he would be willing to forego part of his previous salary.

According to reports, de Ligt is currently collecting around ten million euros net in Turin.

A sum that Bayern can hardly pay due to tax differences compared to Italy, as

now reports.

It is much more likely that de Ligt would earn a net salary of eight to nine million euros in Munich.

A step backwards compared to Turin.

The FC Bayern project is obviously worth it to the 22-year-old.

Update from July 12, 6:59 p.m .:

How closely is Matthijs de Ligt’s change actually related to Robert Lewandowski?

Probably a lot, because without the Lewy millions, Bayern shouldn't get the Juve star either.

“We were there and talked.

And now let's see," said Salihamidzic on Monday evening after his return from Turin to

and

.

He did not want to be elicited more: "We are now waiting to see what happens."

The old lady now has the FCB offer.

But apparently that's not good enough.

Therefore, there should be a new offer in the coming days.

Because it is clear that Brazzo de Ligt really wants to get.

But that is only possible with a little more money.

The original 60 million euros plus five million easy-to-reach bonus payments plus five million hard-to-reach bonus payments are said to have been too little for the old lady.

Juve apparently wants 80 million euros, the amount of bonuses should be as low as possible.

FC Bayern improves the offer for de Ligt: At the same time, a Munich player changes to Juventus

Apparently, this requirement is now being approached in Munich.

According to Juve insider Mirko di Natale, Bayern will “deliver a new offer in the next few hours.

The parties are in constant contact".

However, an agreement has already been reached with de Ligt.

The clear goal of all parties: quick implementation!

Ideally, the defender should go on the big US tour with Bayern, which starts next Monday, July 18th.

So will there be a quick agreement and a lightning transfer before the deadline?

In contrast to the hanging game around Robert Lewandowski, this deal would have gone through extremely quickly.

Curious: Juve introduced a new signing from Munich on Tuesday morning: Kenan Yildiz had left the Bayern youth and now joined the Bianconeri.

The Bayern contract of the 17-year-old super talent expired a few days ago, and the Munich team had refrained from extending it.

The attacking midfielder has now signed his new working paper in Turin - it is valid until 2025.

It is quite possible that the native of Regensburg, who plays for the Turkish U17 national team, will soon be able to get a taste of professional life in Turin.

That never happened in Munich.

Matthis de Ligt: Juve demands a fee of between 70 and 80 million

The problem is that Juve want a lot of money for the 22-year-old.

The Bianconeri are demanding between 70 and 80 million for the central defender.

A lot of money, especially for FC Bayern.

Therefore, the Munich internally expect tough negotiations.

In any case, one thing is certain: the poker game is on!

De Ligt would be the desired leader of coach Julian Nagelsmann.

If the Dutchman changes, one or the other defender could possibly leave the club.
