Real Madrid is reportedly entering the competition to sign Matthijs De Ligt from Bayern Munich. According to a recent report from Defensa Central (via Fichajes), the La Liga giants are aiming to strengthen their defense for the upcoming season and have identified De Ligt as a viable option. However, they are not the only ones interested. Manchester United, a prominent team in the Premier League, is also said to have a strong desire to acquire the 24-year-old player. De Ligt has been a target for the Red Devils for quite some time, and with Erik Ten Hag now leading the team, there is optimism that they can finally secure his services. Ten Hag, who previously coached De Ligt at Ajax and gave him 70 appearances, adds to the appeal for United. While De Ligt has slipped down the pecking order under Thomas Tuchel at Juventus, Real Madrid’s involvement in the race is sure to complicate matters. These two European powerhouses are expected to compete against each other for the former Juventus star in the summer, but it remains to be seen which club will come out on top.
