Bayern Munich have recruited Matthijs Der Ligt.
Bayern Munich announced the recruitment of Der Lecht on its official website on the 20th (Korea Standard Time). Durigt signed a five-year contract with Bayern, which will continue to play in the German Bundesliga until June 2027.
“I’m really happy to be part of such a big club,” said The Ligt, who joined the new team. Bayern is one of the most successful clubs in Germany and one of the most successful clubs in Europe and the world. From the beginning, I could feel the sincerity of the club and the coach, which convinced me. Moreover, Bayern is a club with a big goal. “I’m happy to be part of Bayern’s history,” he said.
The Ligt is considered a “leader” who will lead the entire defense with calm play as well as excellent physical conditions required for the central defender. He is also playing as a starting player in the Netherlands national team.
With the addition of Durricht, the overall young Bayern defense has found a center point. Bayern sent Nicklas Zule away for Borussia Dortmund this summer. Durigt is expected to be in charge of Bayern’s back door along with Dayot Upamecano and Luca Hernandez.
After growing up on Ajax’s youth team, Durricht played in Ajax’s first division and captured the eyes of the world. In the 2018-2019 season, Ajax created a sensation of reaching the semifinals in the UEFA Champions League. Durricht, who was born in 1999, was in charge of the defense, though it was only a contract at the time. Ajax tied Bayern Munich twice in the group stage, defeating Real Madrid in the round of 16 and Juventus in the quarterfinals.
Based on this, The Ligt moved to Juventus in the summer of 2019. It is considered to be the world’s best center back and recorded 75 million euros (about 101.3 billion won) excluding options. He played three seasons in 117 games, scoring eight goals and three assists.
