### Euro Paper Talk: Ten Hag’s Delight with €60m Man Utd Signing to Follow Huge Double Deal; Arsenal, Juventus Transfer Greenlit

In a whirlwind of transfer activity, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is set to bolster his squad with a €60 million signing, while Arsenal and Juventus gear up for a significant transfer. Here’s all the latest from Euro Paper Talk.

#### Manchester United Eyes Matthijs De Ligt After Double Deal at Bayern Munich

Manchester United is on the brink of a major defensive signing with Matthijs De Ligt, thanks to a series of moves by Bayern Munich. The German giants are revamping their defense after a trophyless season, and their pursuit of Hiroki Ito and Jonathan Tah has paved the way for De Ligt’s potential transfer to Old Trafford.

Bayern has already activated the €30 million release clause for Stuttgart’s Hiroki Ito, who will join the team on a five-year contract. Despite securing Ito, Bayern is also targeting Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah. With talks ongoing, Bayern is determined to finalize the deal, although there remains a gap between the clubs’ valuations of Tah.

To facilitate these new additions, Bayern has put Dutch international Matthijs De Ligt up for sale. United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, is a huge admirer of De Ligt, having previously managed him at Ajax. Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg confirms that Manchester United is closely monitoring De Ligt, with Ten Hag eager for a reunion. Reports suggest that De Ligt is available for around €60 million (£50.7 million), making this a realistic target for United.

#### Juventus Preparing Offer for Arsenal’s Jakub Kiwior

Meanwhile, Juventus is preparing an offer for Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior. The new Juventus boss, Thiago Motta, who previously managed Kiwior at Spezia, sees the defender as a valuable addition. Arsenal, willing to negotiate for the right price, may see Kiwior return to Italy, where he is reportedly enthusiastic about the move.
