Only yesterday Fabrizio Romano said it would be a busy few days for Manchester United and now he’s shown himself to be right with another famous “here we go”. He recently commented that a lot for United was hinging on the sale of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, which may now open the gates for more transfers for the Red Devils.
In a video on his YouTube channel yesterday, Romano commented that United are looking for defenders across centre-back and both left and right-backs, as well as a midfielder.
He commented that Bayern Munich’s duo of Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui were both still very much a priority for the Red Devils, just awaiting a sale to be agreed for right-back, Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Now, Romano has now confirmed that the United defender is all set to join West Ham United, with a verbal agreement now in place.
Wan-Bissaka to West Ham United
The 26-year-old is all set to travel to London on Sunday 11th August to complete his medical assessment ready to sign for the Hammers.
It’s understood the fee is valuing at £15 million, slightly less than the previously known £18 million.
We’re not sure at this time the situation around Wan-Bissaka’s previous sign on demands, with his representatives requesting £7 million from United for leaving the club.
This agreement to sell Wan-Bissaka allows for United to confirm their signing of Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich which has been announced this morning.
It’s been reported that an offer of €15 million with €5 million in add-ons has been accepted by the Bundesliga club.
Ultimately though, the deal was resting on the sale of Wan-Bissaka. With this now going through, we’re expecting to see Mazraoui fly to Manchester for his medical at the start of next week.
With this in mind, we may have yet another United focused “here go” over the coming days.
