Eventually, Bayern Munich’s killing squad began in earnest. Matthijs de Ligt and Nusair Mazrawi, two of Kim’s teammates and rivals, were sold. Manchester United.
It was a transfer that was constantly rumored in the local media. It’s official.
Manchester United officially announced the signings of Matthijs de Ligt and Nusair Mazrawi on the club’s website on Thursday (KST) to strengthen their defense.
De Ligt’s contract runs until June 20209. There is an option for a one-year extension.
De Ligt’s move to United was expected.
Bayern Munich brought in Vincent Kompany after the end of last season, and it was expected that De Ligt would be a key defender for Kompany. On the other hand, Kim Min-jae’s position was unclear.
However, there was a twist.
Kompany and the Bayern Munich hierarchy announced that they would “pursue the transfer of De Ligt” and eventually sold him to Manchester United.
The reasoning behind the move was that he wasn’t ‘value for money’ given his performances over the last two years and the salary he was earning. The departure of De Ligt, 안전놀이터 who was expected to be the first-choice center back, will make it much easier for Kim Min-Jae to compete for a starting spot.
De Ligt’s departure is symbolic. Bayern Munich didn’t win the league title last season. The team needed an overhaul.
Kompany is the centerpiece of Bayern Munich’s revitalization.
In addition to De Ligt, six other players have been rumored to leave the club, including key midfielders and side-backs. The first of these is a move for De Ligt and Mazraw.
‘United have signed Morocco international Mazrouei. The contract runs until June 2028 with an option to extend for a further year,” the club announced.
The BBC reported that United paid around £60 million for the two players.
