Probably not.

The signing of the contract until 2027 should take place on Tuesday.

However, the first defender of the record champions is already looking for the distance.

Chris Richards is apparently facing a move to the Premier League.

The central defender, who was last loaned to TSG Hoffenheim, is said to agree with Crystal Palace.

Update from July 18, 8:38 p.m .: It

is not yet clear when de Ligt should fly to the team in the USA.

On Monday afternoon at 2 p.m. FC Bayern left for Washington with a special machine.

It is quite possible that the Dutchman will leave at a similar time on Tuesday afternoon.

Medical check in Munich: Defense star completed part 1 on Monday evening

Update from July 18, 8:01 p.m.:

Matthijs de Ligt landed at the GAT terminal in Munich.

The defense star should complete part 1 of the medical check in the evening.

The second part follows on Tuesday morning, before the contracts are signed.

Then the new Bayern Munich defense boss will visit his new teammates in the USA.

Update from July 18, 6:24 p.m.:

What shirt number will Matthijs de Ligt get at Bayern?

He last wore the 4 for Juventus Turin and the 3 for the Dutch national team. Curious: Both numbers have been free again for the Munich team since this season.

Last season, Niklas Süle wore the 4 and Omar Richards the 3. Both kickers have left Säbener Straße - Süle is now playing for BVB and Richards for Nottingham Forest.

FC Bayern before de Ligt transfer: Defense star lands in Munich at 8 p.m

Update from July 18, 5:32 p.m .:

If de Ligt has landed in Munich right away, the upcoming Bayern defense boss will probably only go to the team in the USA on Tuesday.

Depending on when the medical check is completed, the 22-year-old only travels to the team that is on its way to the US summer tour.

Update from July 18, 4:30 p.m.:

As the Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla from

Gazzetta Dello Sport

writes on Twitter, de Ligt flies from Turin to Munich on Monday evening at 6:30 p.m.

The defense star will land there around 7:45 p.m., presumably complete the medical check immediately and then sign his contract until 2027.

On the other hand, sports director Hasan Salihamidzic did not board the plane to the USA at noon, where FC Bayern went on a US tour.

Leon Goretzka, who apparently had to undergo knee surgery and could therefore be out for six to eight weeks, was also not on the plane.

The transfer of Matthijs de Ligt from Juventus to Bayern is on the home stretch.

De Ligt's agent Rafaela Pimenta landed in Turin this afternoon, reports transfer insider Fabrizio Romano.

The player agent, who succeeded the late Mino Raiola, wants to finalize the details with the old lady to finalize the deal.

According to reports, FC Bayern will pay a fee of 70 million euros for de Ligt plus ten million bonuses to Juve.

Medical check in Munich: De Ligt is expected to arrive at FC Bayern on Monday

Update from July 18, 7.45 a.m .:

As reported by the

SID

on Monday morning, Matthijs de Ligt is already expected for the mandatory medical check in Munich today.

The Bavarians press on the tube because the team starts their trip to the USA on Monday - as soon as possible with the designated chief of defense.

It is uncertain whether de Ligt will fly to the USA with his new teammates on Monday.

The FC Bayern entourage is scheduled to take off from Munich Airport for Washington at 2:00 p.m.

The German record champions will play there on Wednesday (local time) against MLS club DC United and on Saturday against Manchester City in Green Bay.

However, De Ligt would follow suit as soon as possible.

FC Bayern: De Ligt becomes the second most expensive transfer in club history

De Ligt is Munich's fourth new signing for the coming season.

They had previously signed world star Sadio Mane from Liverpool FC (32 million euros plus bonuses) as well as Ajax Amsterdam's Ryan Gravenberch (18.5 plus bonuses) and Noussair Mazraoui (free transfer).

De Ligt is initially the second most expensive transfer in the history of FC Bayern.

Munich had only spent more money on defender Lucas Hernandez: they signed the French world champion in 2019 for a fixed transfer fee of 80 million euros.

De Ligt, in which the German record champions were also interested at the time, switched to Juventus Turin for 85 million euros at the same time.

Transfer from de Ligt: FC Bayern is working on signing a new defense boss

Update from July 17, 9:55 p.m .:

The transfer is probably through.

According to consistent reports, Juventus Turin and FC Bayern have agreed on a move from Matthijs de Ligt to the Isar metropolis.

According to

Sport1

, the 22-year-old Dutchman is set to join the team in the United States.

The German record champion is flying to the USA on Monday (July 18) for a one-week marketing trip.

According to

Bild

, the Italians have accepted an offer of 70 million euros plus ten million euros in bonuses.

Juve had previously rejected offers of 45 million euros and 60 million euros plus bonuses of ten million euros each.

According to the reports, De Ligt will sign a five-year contract, and not four years as initially rumored.

According to Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Bayern are said to be paying more than a total of 80 million euros.

De Ligt should become the new chief of defense in Munich and give stability to the shaky defense.

The Bundesliga giant is willing to spend a lot of money for this.

Matthijs de Ligt to FC Bayern?

All sides want fast transfer

First report from July 17:

Munich – So it should be: FC Bayern is planning with Matthijs de Ligt as the future chief of defense, club and players are already in agreement according to consistent reports.

And yet no execution has been reported from Säbener Straße in Munich.

As two Italian media write, all sides want clarity as quickly as possible.

Matthijs de Ligt: Transfer to FC Bayern is getting closer

The

Gazzetta dello Sport

reports that Juve have two demands on the German Bundesliga record champions.

The transfer should be as close as possible to an exit clause that is not specified in detail.

Furthermore, the transfer should take place as quickly as possible so that the northern Italians can use the money to sign a replacement.

And a chaos like the departure of Christiano Ronaldo is avoided when the club from Piedmont was initially unable to present an adequate striker.

The

Gazzetta dello Sport

also writes about a four-year contract that de Ligt should sign in the Isar metropolis.

And which should bring the 22-year-old Dutchman twelve million euros a year.

But: How high is said exit clause?

In April 2021, the Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reportedly said 150 million euros.

However, this sum may not be correct.

Because: Bayern would not be able to pay that much, according to reports.

Furthermore, the negotiations are said to have already progressed.

Juve coach Allegri: "Anything can happen"

Juve is also under pressure because world champion Giorgio Chiellini has lost another central defender.

The now 37-year-old is moving to Los Angeles FC in the USA.

Captain Leonardo Bonucci still has a contract until 2024, but he is already 35 years old.

La Repubblica

also

writes about an imminent transfer.

According to the report, Bayern are allegedly offering a salary of 15 million euros a year.

Here, too, there is talk of a four-year contract, and that a not insignificant part of the transfer fee of up to 50 million euros from the sale of Robert Lewandowski to FC Barcelona should flow into de Ligt's commitment.

Matthijs de Ligt: Does FC Bayern pay up to 80 million transfer fees to FC Bayern?

"They are in a hurry," writes the daily newspaper.

The transfer fee was recently quoted as 75 to 80 million euros, which brings FC Bayern to its financial limits with current assets of 209 million euros (as of November 2021).

Lowering the fee a bit should therefore currently be the focus of negotiations.
