Real Madrid make shock bid for De Ligt

Matthijs de Ligt is a player who is being chased by PSG, Manchester United and Barcelona. All three clubs are willing to break the bank to sign the Ajax captain but the defender is in no hurry to accept any offer.

Reports in Spain now suggest that Real Madrid have tabled an offer for him as well. The report suggests that Madrid have offered €82 million to Ajax and a salary of €11 million to the Dutch defender.

The report also claims that the offer is way better than what Barca have offered – €65 million for him and a salary of €8 million. The offer is reportedly better than what Manchester United have offered too – €80 million (including add-ons) to Ajax and a salary of €8 million per season to De Ligt.

Despite signing Eder Militao, reports suggest that Florentino Perez is desperate to sign another young centre-back this summer.
