Sky Sports Germany reports that Bayern Munich are willing to sell Matthijs De Ligt to the Premier League with clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United interested.

Matthijs De Ligt has fallen down the pecking order at Bayern Munich with players like Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-Jae being preferred, therefore a summer move to an English club could be on the cards.

Also, the Bavarians have recently signed Eric Dier on loan and with the potential of making that deal permanent, De Ligt might be even less favourable for Bayern Munich in the future.

With Manchester United's Raphaël Varane potentially going the other way, Manchester United may look to do a swap deal with Bayern in the summer for the Dutch international.

The player has recently returned to team training following a long-term knee problem.

De Ligt has currently played nine games for Bayern and scored one goal in the 7-0 thrashing of Bochum earlier this Bundesliga campaign.
