Arsenal Have Made Matthijs de Ligt Their Priority Signing!

As per reports from The Athletic, Arsenal are eyeing Bayern Munich's Matthijs de Ligt as their top transfer target for the upcoming summer window in 2024. The 24-year-old Dutch defender, known for his stellar performances, is seen as a crucial addition to strengthen Arsenal's backline.

De Ligt's football journey began at Ajax, progressing through the youth ranks before making a noteworthy move to Juventus in the 2019/20 season for a substantial fee of €85.50 million. After three seasons with the Italian side, he transferred to Bayern Munich in July 2022 for €67 million.

Despite Arsenal's keen interest, a mid-season transfer for de Ligt seems unlikely. The North London club is reportedly planning to kick off the recruitment process next summer. The Dutchman has evolved into a standout figure in Bayern's defense, making him a priority target for Arsenal as they aim to fortify their squad.

With the likes of Eric Dier, Kim Min-Jae, and Dayot Upamecano also in the squad, Bayern may opt to let De Ligt go but only for the right amount. Will Arsenal be successful in their heist? Let me know your thoughts...
