Oliver Kahn has confirmed Matthijs de Ligt “wants to join” Bayern Munich as the Netherlands international edges closer to securing a move to the Bavarian giants.
Talks between Juventus and Bayern have taken place this week, and it appears increasingly likely the 22-year-old will join the Bundesliga champions before the new season begins.
De Ligt has two years remaining on his contract with the Bianconeri, which features a release clause of €120million.
Juve are demanding at least €90m for the defender, but are reportedly happy to settle for Bayern’s proposed bid of €60m including bonuses.
