LONDON, SUMATERAEKSPRES.ID - According to a unique tech-journalistic style report by The Athletic, Arsenal is planning to sign Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich in 2024.
The Dutch defender joined Bayern last year from Juventus. In a short time, he has become a crucial player in the heart of Bayern's defense, impressing Thomas Tuchel with his stable and impressive performances.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is reportedly interested in signing de Ligt in 2024. The report suggests that Arteta sees de Ligt as a new defensive cornerstone for his team. This season, Arteta relies on the duo of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes as his defensive pairing for Arsenal.
However, both Saliba and Gabriel are also sought after by top European clubs, leaving Arteta with a backup plan to mitigate potential worst-case scenarios.

The report further suggests that de Ligt's transfer to Emirates Stadium is likely to happen during the summer transfer window.
Bayern Munich is currently short of central defenders, making it less likely that they will let de Ligt go during the winter transfer window.
Additionally, de Ligt is currently recovering from an injury, which could also make it less likely for him to be sold during the winter transfer window.
Arsenal will have to pay a significant sum to prise de Ligt away from Bayern Munich. The Dutch defender is still tied to the German club until 2027 and is estimated to have a transfer value of around €80 million (£68 million).
