Munich's "Bayern" team took concrete steps in the fight for Turin's "Juventus" defender Matthijs de Ligt. On Monday, representatives of the Bundesliga champions flew to Italy for negotiations with the "Serie A" team. Media representatives tried to ask Bayern director Hasan Salihamidžić whether he believes in a successful outcome of the talks, but the Bosnian remained tight-lipped and said, "We will see." It is reported that the Munich club has already agreed on personal contract details with the player, but the teams still need to agree on the transfer fee. Bayern does not want to pay the requested 115 million euros by Juventus and is trying to reduce the price.
