Matthijs De Ligt set to join Bayern from Juve – 2nd most expensive signing win club history

By


Deal Imminent 

Less than 48 hours after completing Robert Lewandowski’s transfer to Barcelona, Bayern Munich have re-invested the transfer fee. Transfermarkt can confirm a report by Sport1 reporter Kerry Hau that the Rekordmeister has reached an agreement with Juventus for defender Matthijs de Ligt. Juve will receive €70 million upfront for the 22-year-old Dutch defender, plus €10 million in performance-based add-ons. De Ligt is expected to sign a deal that will keep him at Bayern until 2027.

De Ligt becomes the second most expensive signing in Bayern’s history behind Lucas Hernández. The Rekordmeister signed the French center-back from Atlético Madrid in 2019 for €80 million. That same year, Bayern were also interested in De Ligt. Still, the Dutchman opted to join Juventus from Ajax in a deal worth €85.5 million instead—the second highest fee paid for a center-back in history (overview).

Now three years later, Bayern got their player after all, and for a price that was below Juve’s initial asking price of €90 million, plus bonuses. But even at a reduced price, De Ligt will become the most expensive center-back in terms of accumulated transfer fees (overview). Also, only two players were more expensive this transfer window—Aurélien Tchouameni (from Monaco to Real Madrid for €80m) and Darwin Núñez (from Benfica to Liverpool for €75m).

De Ligt to Bayern – Announcement before US Tour?

De Ligt had agreed on personal terms with Bayern some time ago, but there was some distance between the two parties. With Juventus and Bayern heading on US Tours, both clubs worked hard on a resolution this weekend. The Lewandowski deal then brought further clarity freeing up necessary funds for the Bundesliga giants to advance the agreement. With no rival clubs bidding, Juve ultimately knew they would have to take a price cut to fulfill the player’s wishes.
