Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel has dismissed speculation that Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt could be leaving the club in June. Tuchel emphasized the importance of de Ligt to the team’s future, describing him as both a top player and a top individual.
De Ligt’s Injury Setbacks
Tuchel detailed the challenges de Ligt has faced, noting that the defender returned from international duty with an injury that caused him to miss the entire preseason. Despite this setback, de Ligt was fielded prematurely in the Supercup, which unfortunately led to a serious injury.
Commitment to de Ligt’s Future at Bayern
The Bayern Munich coach made it clear that the club is planning with de Ligt in mind, signaling their commitment to his continued presence in the squad. As a central defender, de Ligt’s role is pivotal in the Bundesliga team’s defensive lineup, and Tuchel’s comments suggest that the club is keen on retaining his services moving forward.
