Here comes Manchester United! Renowned journalist confirms: Personal terms have been settled! The €65 million man is set to arrive at the Theatre of Dreams.

There has been new progress in Matthijs de Ligt's transfer saga, with the news coming from Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano. The reporter stated that Manchester United is growing increasingly confident about completing the deal for De Ligt, as the player has clearly told his agent: he will only prioritize joining Manchester United. Currently, the player's personal terms are almost finalized, and the two clubs are negotiating the structure of the deal, discussing the addition of some bonus clauses with Manchester United.

Clearly, De Ligt has become Manchester United's top transfer target this summer and is likely to be Erik ten Hag's first signing of the summer. From Romano's report, we know that the player's personal terms have been agreed upon, which is crucial. Additionally, Manchester United has largely reached an agreement with Bayern Munich on the transfer fee, and they are currently discussing the deal's structure, specifically the issue of bonus clauses. Given this momentum, it is expected that De Ligt's transfer will soon be tagged with "Here we go," likely depending on the Netherlands' journey in the European Championship.

Fans following De Ligt's transfer should know that most Bayern Munich supporters oppose selling him. Previously, local Bayern fans launched a petition urging the club not to sell De Ligt. This petition quickly garnered a strong response from Bayern fans, accumulating tens of thousands of signatures in just a few days. German Bild reporter Falk stated that he would not vote but would stir up some sentiment through his podcast. Clearly, he also does not want Bayern to sell De Ligt.

However, from Romano's latest report, we know that the fans' petition cannot stop Bayern's board's decision, as this is also the intention of new coach Vincent Kompany. Bayern's first signing this summer was spending €23.5 million to buy out Hiroki Ito, and then Bayern pursued Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah and are close to reaching an agreement.

Kompany, upon taking charge, immediately pursued two center-backs, indicating his dissatisfaction with the current defensive lineup. The arrival of new signings suggests De Ligt will not be heavily relied upon, making his departure inevitable. Fans' discontent is understandable, but since Bayern's board chose Kompany as coach, there is no reason to reject the manager's team-building needs due to fan pressure. They can only hope the new signings deliver outstanding performances in the new season, so the dissatisfaction will gradually fade.

Additionally, De Ligt's strong personal desire is key to pushing the deal forward. From Romano's report, we know De Ligt only wants to join Manchester United and has instructed his agent to negotiate solely with them. This eliminates the possibility of other clubs joining the race unless Manchester United loses interest. In fact, Manchester United has responded positively, as they also have an urgent need in the center-back position. Moreover, De Ligt is young, highly skilled, and has a positive past working relationship with Ten Hag. According to English media reports, Ten Hag's plan is to pair De Ligt with Lisandro Martínez as a center-back duo, another combination originating from Ajax.

In summary, De Ligt's arrival at Manchester United can be said to be entering the countdown phase. Let's wait and see together!
