Manchester United are still in the midst of restructuring their squad ahead of the beginning of the 2024/25 Premier League season after giving Erik ten Hag a contract extension.
It now appears that they might be closer to selling defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka this summer.
Manchester United Clarify Demands to West Ham United Over Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Wan-Bissaka Moves Closer to West Ham Move
Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg has reported that the Hammers have now reached a verbal agreement with the English right-back over a potential summer transfer. He states that “personal terms have been agreed” between the two parties for a five-year contract until 2029 with the London side.
However, there is “no agreement yet” between West Ham and the Red Devils. Plettenberg claims that the Hammers have offered a fee of around £1o million to sign the full-back, whose contract is poised to expire in 2025. It’s added that ten Hag’s side are asking for something around £18 million and that negotiations are ongoing between the two sides over the possibility of reaching a solution. This could also have an impact on Manchester United’s future transfer business in further strengthening their backline.
Who Could Replace Him?
The reason why the Red Devils are open to selling Wan-Bissaka is due to their rumoured chase of Bayern Munich full-back Noussair Mazraoui. They have reportedly already agreed personal terms with the former Ajax defender and can only sign him once able to sell some of their players. This is why they’re deep into negotiations with the Hammers to offload the “impressive” right-back this summer.
