>There was optimism at United and among the players’ representatives that this offer would satisfy Bayern’s expectations. It has caused some bemusement in the camp of De Ligt and Mazraoui — represented by the same agent, Rafaela Pimenta — based on their understanding of what it would require to get a deal over the line
>Bayern informed the pair before the summer market opened that neither were part of their plans and transfers should be sought, insisting the club would compromise to help the process.
>The resistance United’s enquiries subsequently met led De Ligt and Mazraoui’s people to ask Bayern whether their stance on the centre-back and full-back had changed, yet the position was reiterated.
>If that is the case, the longer the situation lasts the more financially costly it may become to Bayern — given their sizeable salaries

Seems like either one or both of the players wouldn’t mind staying but Eberl/Kompany have made up their mind.
Whatever happens the rest of this month will have a big impact on the squad because the remaining players on the sale list, other than Mazraoui, are all significant figures
I’m sure maz and de ligt would be happy either staying or leaving so they win either way lol
Can someone break their fax machine or something
Does anyone know what the offer was? I would expect at least 50mil. Everything below that for both players would be disgraceful. De Ligt alone should be 50 to 60 and maz 20 to 30.
Hope we get at least 75 mil for them. I’d honestly want that much for De Ligt alone but we’re not in the best negotiating position rn. 50 for him and 25 for Maz plus add ons for both is a reasonable enough ask id say.
80+ for both and we should say yes.
