Real Madrid is getting ready to make a surprising attempt to sign Matthijs de Ligt, even with Manchester United showing interest, according to Teamtalk. The Bayer Munich defender has already agreed on terms with the Red Devils and is now waiting for them to negotiate a transfer fee. United is willing to pay about €35m for the Ajax graduate, but Bayern is firm on not wanting to sell for less than €50m. In the midst of this, Los Blancos are thinking about making a move for the Netherlands ace. This could be a way for them to seek revenge after missing out on Leny Yoro to United. Yoro was expected to join the European champions, but United managed to persuade him with a highly lucrative salary package. Real Madrid could outmaneuver United by interfering with their pursuit of De Ligt, as the La Liga giants could easily meet Bayern's asking price. The final decision would naturally depend on the player, who is currently focused on reuniting with manager Erik ten Tag at Old Trafford.
