Bayern Munich centre-back Matthijs de Ligt could reportedly leave this summer amid interest from Arsenal and Manchester United.

The Dutchman is currently in the middle of his second season with the Bundesliga champions after arriving from Juventus in July 2022.

Since arriving in Bavaria, De Ligt has gone on to make a total of 55 competitive appearances, chipping in with four goals during that time.

Despite being under contract until June 2027, the Netherlands international is facing an uncertain future at the Allianz Arena.

According to German outlet Bild, Bayern could decide to sell the central defender at the end of the current campaign.

The report suggests that De Ligt has a strained relationship with Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel, who has tended to utilise Kim Min-jae and Dayot Upamecano as his preferred centre-back pairing.

As a result of selection decisions and injury issues, De Ligt has ultimately had to settle for 12 competitive appearances this season, including just four starts in the Bundesliga.

With Kim currently away with South Korea at the Asian Cup, De Ligt was hoping to gain a consistent run in the Bayern backline.

However, De Ligt is set for a spell on the sidelines after sustaining a knee injury during a training camp in Portugal.

De Ligt's long-term future could depend on whether Bayern are successful in their pursuit to sign Barcelona's Ronald Araujo in the summer window.

Arsenal are likely to be one of the teams keeping a close eye on De Ligt's situation, having recently been linked with a potential move for the 24-year-old.

While Mikel Arteta currently has Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba as his main two central defenders, the Gunners are seemingly keen to add further strength in depth to their backline.

Like Arsenal, Man United have also emerged as a contender for De Ligt's signature, Erik ten Hag looking to reunite with the player that he once managed at Ajax.

The Red Devils are scouring the market for new defenders, with Jonny Evans out of contract in the summer, while there is uncertainty surrounding Raphael Varane's future.
