Bayern Munich confirm signing of 22-year-old defender Matthijs de Ligt from Juventus in a deal worth £68m
Matthijs de Ligt's £68m move to Bayern Munich has been confirmed by the club. With the Bavarians selling Niklas Sule and David Alaba in the last year, their defensive stocks had become depleted — but the Dutchman's arrival from Juventus goes some way to addressing that issue. Ad/> De Ligt has long been considered one of Europe's most promising young centre-backs, but at 22 years old and after three seasons in Serie A, he hasn't quite kicked on in the manner some had expected he would following his big-money move to Turin in 2019.
