MANCHESTER UNITED have agreed a deal to sign Matthijs de Ligt – and have moved a step closer to bringing in Noussair Mazraoui.
United have looked to bolster their defence this summer after Raphael Varane’s exit and Harry Maguire’s future looking in doubt.
They signed Leny Yoro for £52million from Lille but the 18-year-old faces three months out after picking up a pre-season foot injury.
De Ligt has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester and now they have moved a step closer to striking a deal.
Because the Red Devils have agreed an initial £38.5million with Bayern Munich for De Ligt – with a further £4.2m in add ons.
De Ligt is now set for a medical before signing a five-year deal that includes the option to extend by an additional 12 months.
The centre-back won the Dutch title with Ajax before making a move to Juventus in 2019 where he also lifted the Serie A.
After 117 appearances in Italy, De Ligt moved to Bayern in 2022 and also has a Bundesliga winners medal to his name.
But the German giants are ready to offload De Ligt and full-back Mazraoui.
Bayern also accepted a separate £16.8m proposal from United for Noussair Mazraoui in a piece of double business worth nearly £60m.
A deal for the Moroccan – which will see them pay around £12.8m up front – has been in place for some weeks.
But it depends on Aaron Wan-Bissaka agreeing an exit after United accepted West Ham’s £15m offer.Play Video
Inside Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s plans to replace Old Trafford with a ‘Wembley of the North’
Wan-Bissaka needs to finalise his termination at United but a medical with the Hammers is set for Sunday or Monday.
The Londoner made 22 appearances last season for United but has fallen out of favour with boss Erik ten Hag.
And as revealed by SunSport, he wants a multi-million pound pay-off from United to leave this summer.
The 26-year-old has less than 12 months left on his contract at Old Trafford.
And he could bank a huge signing-on fee by staying put and leaving on a free transfer next summer.
Wan-Bissaka’s representatives are pushing for United to give the player a chunk of the £18m fee they will receive from West Ham in order to get the deal done this summer.
The former Crystal Palace defender has been on the same £90,000-a-week contract at United since he joined the club five years ago.
United’s double swoop of Bayern will take summer spending to around the £150million mark – with Joshua Zirkzee and Yoro already in place.
