Bayern Munich have a defensive reinforcement. The German giant announced on Tuesday the signing of Dutch international Matthijs de Ligt. The 22-year-old comes from Juventus Turin for a fee of 70 million euros plus ten million in bonuses. He will be linked with the Bavarian club until June 2027. De Ligt is the fourth signing for the German defending champions after Sadio Mané, Ryan Gravenberch and Noussair Mazraoui.
“I am very happy to be a player at this great club. Right from the start, I felt an honest appreciation from the sporting management, the coach and the board, which convinced me,” said Matthijs de Ligt after his signing.
De Ligt at the same time embarked with the Bavarian group in the direction of the United States for the preseason on Tuesday before the official announcement of his transfer. It should be noted that the Dutchman still had a two-year contract with Juventus Turin.
