Bayern Munich have officially signed Matthijs de Ligt on a permanent transfer in a deal said to be worth around €77m. The Dutchman ends his three-year stay in Italy and moves to Allianz Arena to join Julian Nagelsmann’s squad. He will now integrate with the group before the team’s 2022–23 season begins next month.
Bayern Munich have signed one of Europe’s most highly rated centre-backs after completing a deal with Juventus, where he won the Serie A and Coppa Italia.

How much Did Bayern Pay For De Ligt?
Bayern paid an initial fee of €67m (£57m/$69m) for De Ligt, with the contract worth a further €10 million (£8.5m/$10m) in add-ons provided certain performance and commercial-related clauses are met.
What Is The Length Of De Ligt’s Contract At Bayern?
De Ligt has signed a five-year long term contract with Bayern that will keep him at Allianz Arena until the end of the 2026-27 season.
Who Else Will Bayern Munich Sign This Season?
De Ligt is Bayern’s fourth summer transfer window signing, joining Sadio Mane, Ryan Gravenberch, and Noussair Mazraoui on permanent deals.
However, the Bundesliga giants have lost top scorer Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona, and it has been reported that they may look for a replacement before the market closes.
Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo have both been mentioned as possible targets, but Bayern have openly distanced themselves from the pair, while they have also been linked with Napoli’s Victor Osimhen.
Rennes teenager Mathys Tel is one striker they are definitely interested in, however the French club had rejected two propositions from Bayern so far, with a fee of roughly €25m (£21m/$25m) likely required to seal the transfer.
Before the window closes, midfield reinforcements are also necessary, and Nagelsmann is eager to sign Konrad Laimer, who he previously coached at RB Leipzig.
