Manchester United's bid to sign Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich has stalled due to a significant valuation gap.

United are unwilling to meet Bayern's €50 million asking price, plus bonus payments, leaving the two clubs €15 million apart. Bayern Munich remains firm on their valuation, refusing to lower the price.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich has made an improved offer for Bayer Leverkusen's Jonathan Tah, but the deal remains unresolved as Leverkusen believes the bid still falls short of their valuation.

Tah has agreed to join Bayern in principle, but the clubs have yet to finalize the transfer.

This unresolved deal may impact United's pursuit of De Ligt, leaving the transfer situation uncertain.
