Bayern Munich are understood to be set to use the proceeds from the sale of the Dutchman to buy back Bayer Leverkusen centre-back and German international Jonathan Tah.

In addition, according to German journalists, the 24-year-old midfielder’s contract at the new team will be for 5 years with an automatic 1-year extension clause. The salary is also being negotiated, but it is expected that De Ligt will receive less than what he is currently receiving at the Allianz Arena team.
