Manchester United are finally set to complete the transfer for Matthijs de Ligt and end this lengthy saga. The centre-back will strengthen the squad, especially given injuries and outgoing departures in his position.<\/p>\n
Fabrizio Romano has revealed that de Ligt is set to join Manchester United. The German giants “accept”<\/a> a \u20ac45 million fixed fee with an additional \u20ac5 million in add-ons, which will be paid across three years. This is a good deal for United, considering they were once interested in the \u00a370 million rated Jarrad Branthwaite.<\/p>\n Read More: <\/strong>Two New Faces and a Behind the Scenes Revamp: Manchester United Predicted Lineup 2024\/25<\/a><\/p>\n Personal terms have been agreed with the 24-year-old, who will sign a five-year deal with an option to extend an extra year. This deal happens in conjuncture with the signing of fellow Bayern Munich defender Noussair Mazraoui<\/a>, and the sale of Aaron Wan Bissaka<\/a> to West Ham.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Signing the “world-class”<\/a> defender is a big boost to the squad, as Erik ten Hag’s defence is looking quite thin.
