Bayern is preparing the sale of De Ligt and 50 million for Palinha

Step by step, the big clubs in Europe are putting their plans in this summer market that is semi-dormant during the contention of important national team tournaments such as the Euro Cup and Copa América. Ideally, FC Barcelona would like to strengthen itself, at the very least, with a left winger and a midfielder, although any effective move is currently on standby as LaLiga does not officially set financial fair play conditions. of the Barça team. At the same time, there are the culé squad players that other clubs are interested in. MD already reported a few months ago that Ronald Araujo was one of Bayern Munich’s targets Next season is expected, but at the same time the 25-year-old Uruguayan defender is considered untransferable by the club of the culé, with a contract valid until 2026 has not yet responded to the extension proposal given by the entity to him. Bayern’s latest market moves reveal that it is starting to overhaul its squad to recapture a Bundesliga that it has stopped winning for the first time in 12 seasons due to the emergence of Bayer Leverkusen. Matthijs de Ligt, the 24-year-old Dutch international center back who arrived in Munich from Juventus in 2022 in a deal worth 67 million euros, is targeting Manchester United, where he will be reunited with Erik ten Hag, who sponsored his jump to the elite at Ajax . The price will not vary much from that bar.

This is where Bayern began to move, also making some ‘renewal plans’ with its new executive staff led by sporting general director Max Eberl, to please its new coach, Belgian Vincent Kompany. From the very beginning, already is in p dealTo close, 12 months after a failed attempt, the integration of João Palhinha, the 28-year-old Portuguese international midfielder who plays for Fulham. The English club wants its player 50 million poundsabout 59 million euros.

Michael Olise, the 22-year-old French winger from Crystal Palace, has also been linked with Bayern for over 50 million, albeit in euros. On the defense side, ultimate interest of the Bavarian club is to 28-year-old German international center-back Jonatan Tah, starter in the Euro Cup host team after his excellent season at Bayer Leverkusen. Harsh criticism of the performance of the 27-year-old South Korean center Kim Min-Jae, who Bayern signed in 2023 in Naples in exchange for 50 million euros, also does not guarantee his place in Munich.

Araujo, therefore, is one of the world’s best poster child center backs and Bayern is, without a doubt, the club that has made the most noise for him.

A few days ago the Uruguayan center-back left a cold response when our correspondent Javier de León asked him, during the Copa América, if he could confirm that he would continue with Barça next season. The Barça defender just said that he is very focused on the Copa América. As reported by MD, Barça consider Araujo a very important player for the club and for the new coach, Hansi Flick, in addition to being one of the captains. There is no intention to sell, but if he wants to play for another club, he must tell the club’s directors clearly and present an offer, which according to Barça sources should be around 100 million euros. With the termination clause of 1,000 million, in addition to Bayern, it is also known interest in Araujo from Chelsea and Manchester United.
