According to the latest report from German media Bild editor-in-chief Christian Falk, Bayern director Salihamidzic flew to Turin on Wednesday local time and held a secret meeting on the transfer of De Ligt.
Salihamidzic met with Juventus sporting director Federico Cherubini at milan and they are said to have discussed a possible move from De Ligt to Bayern for around three hours.
Juventus executives also know now: they are convinced that De Ligt wants to move to Bayern. Unlike Turin, he likes the attacking style that Bayern now implements, which he learned from the former Bayern coach of the Dutch national team Van Gaal .
Raiola's agency, which represents De Ligt, is said to have temporarily halted negotiations with other clubs. Chelsea is also particularly interested in De Ligt, but if you want to make an offer to Juventus, it seems to be difficult now.
Bild also revealed that Italian media reports that Bayern offered an initial transfer fee of 75 million euros were incorrect. It is reported that both parties have expressed their ideas, but the specific figures have obviously not yet been negotiated.
However, it is said that Juventus has stated that they are willing to negotiate on the basis of 75 million euros, and the so-called release clause is not a problem for both parties.
De Ligt is expected to return to Juventus to start training at the weekend, and the next talks should begin.
