[Saba Sports News] According to German media, local Bayern Munich fans have launched a petition urging the club not to sell Matthijs de Ligt. Currently, the petition has garnered 6,000 signatures. Reports suggest that Manchester United has shown interest in De Ligt and has initiated transfer negotiations with Bayern Munich. Two years ago, the Dutch center-back joined Bayern Munich for 77 million euros. Fans expressed, “We all want De Ligt to stay at Bayern Munich! He has proven himself to be a world-class defender and potentially the best player in our team. That’s why he was voted our player of the year for 2022/23. Moreover, at only 24 years old, he has a bright future, and we believe he will fulfill his immense potential. Selling De Ligt would be a grave mistake, and we would undoubtedly regret it. Therefore, we call on everyone to recognize that we should never make this error at Bayern!” Despite his young age, De Ligt possesses maturity and exceptional skills, making him a defensive leader and a potential captain in the coming years.
