Liverpool offered the opportunity to recruit Matthijs De Ligt

Liverpool are looking to improve their defensive unit this summer and Matthijs De Ligt has been linked with a move to the club.

According to a report from TBR Football, Premier League clubs have been offered the chance to sign the Netherlands international. The 24-year-old central defender is said to be frustrated at Bayern Munich and is eager to leave the club.

The German giants are in talks to sign Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen and they have already signed Hiroki Ito from Stuttgart. Therefore, they would also be willing to sell the Netherlands international. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can win the services race. Besides them, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal were also offered the player.

The defender joined Bayern Munich in a deal worth around £70million in 2022, and is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition. The German team will demand a bonus for him. It will be interesting to see if Premier League clubs are willing to pay up.

Matthijs De Ligt would improve Liverpool

Liverpool need to sign a quality centre-back this summer and De Ligt could prove to be the ideal replacement for Joel Matip, who left the club on a free transfer.

Liverpool looked vulnerable at the back last season and they will need to improve in that department if they are to seriously compete for major trophies. De Ligt was considered a world-class prospect a few years ago and it will be interesting to see if he can continue his development and make the most of his instrument in the coming seasons.

He could be a ready-made addition to Liverpool’s defense and he could improve them instantly. The opportunity to unite with his international teammate, Virgil van Dijk will be a plus for the defender.
