Details behind De Ligt’s contract with Bayern Munich

Matthijs de Ligt is on the verge of completing an €80m total move to Bayern Munich after they agreed a deal with Juventus.

The 22-year-old Dutch centre back is ready for the next stage of his career after an important three years in Turin, where he worked closely with experienced veterans Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci. 

As reported by TMW, De Ligt is now set to sign a five-year contract with Bayern Munich worth around €10m net per season plus add-ons, a little lower than the €11m salary he currently earns in Turin.

The Bavarian giants secured a deal after agreeing to pay Juventus €70m in a fixed fee plus around €10m in add-ons. The Dutch centre back will carry out his pre-transfer medicals this week and if everything goes to plan he’ll put pen to paper on the five-year contract.

During his three years in Turin, De Ligt made 117 appearances across all competitions for Juventus. He helped the side win a Scudetto, a Coppa Italia and a Supercoppa Italiana.
