Despite Bayern Munich's open interest in Ronald Araújo, the Bavarian board does not seem determined to 'sacrifice' Matthijs de Ligt in the summer to go after the FC Barcelona defender. At least that's what Thomas Tuchel, Munich coach, believes

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The future of Matthijs of Ligt in the Bayern Munich seems conditioned by the possible signing of Ronald Araújo in summer. With agreement until June of 2027, the Bavarian group could invest it ingresado by the sale of the Dutch defender in the 'charrúa', a sale that would leave in the arks muniquesas around 60 million euros, as long as the one of Leiderdorp healthy closing the season and attain to contest without sobresaltos the Eurocopa with Low Countries.

However, the posture of the Bayern regarding the future of Of Ligt is quite contradictory. In spite of the insistence in negotiating with the FC Barcelona by Araújo, the club does not prioritise the exit of the tulip, a logical operation by questions of 'Fair Play' financial, since the Barça will not leave to go to the '4' by less than 100 'kilos'. 'SKY Sports' was the first portal in advancing the Bavarian interest in Ronald, an option that so much the one of Rivera like the Barcelona group descartaron immediately.

"In all the windows of transfers go out rumours of all type. It is something normal. I the only that I can say is that I am centred in the team", sentenced Araújo does a pair of weeks on the rumours of the interest of the Bayern. In summer, the history can be difference, especially if the Barça closes the season without titles and without resolving the 'crowbars' pending, in front of which would have to produce, yes or yes, several important sales.

The Bayern "will explain" with Of Ligt in summer

In spite of the injury of the Dutch, Thomas Tuchel left clear that, of face to the summer, the central of 24 years will keep on being important for the Bavarian group. "We are planning the season with Matthijs, is good player and good person". Of Ligt suffers a partial break of the internal ligament of the articulation of the right knee that, although it reduces notably his time of drop with regard to a complete break of the ligament, will keep him was at least a pair of months.

In this sense, added: "Matthijs went back lesionado of the selection and lost all the pre-season. We have he too prompt in the Supercopa and afterwards went back to lesionarse gravely". For the Bayern, the priority will keep on being fichar to a central 'top' in summer, but this, when seeming will not depend on the exit of the ex player of Ajax and Juventus, by the one who the Bavarians credited 67 million euros in 2022 and, up to now, hardly has contested 55 official parties.
