German champions Bayern had continually denied Lewandowski was for sale, but his departure can now finance their desired purchase of Juventus centre-back Matthijs de Ligt. According to Sky in Italy, the club’s sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic was in Turin last Monday, July 11, negotiating a deal for the Dutch international.
It is thought that De Ligt will cost in the region of €80m (£67.7m) plus add-ons. He has apparently already informed the Serie A giants that he wishes to leave, even though he still has two years of his contract remaining.
