Manchester United are really trying to offload their deputy right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka this summer to make space for some new talent.
Reports claim that the Red Devils are trying to clear some space to sign Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich, with Diogo Dalot still very much the first choice in the position.
Wan-Bissaka has been linked to a host of clubs this summer including AC Milan and Galatasaray, however the front running duo appear to be West Ham United and Inter Milan.
Last week it was confirmed that West Ham had approached the star who agreed to a five year contract at the London-based club. West Ham and Manchester United were then set to negotiate a transfer fee, with the Hammers hoping to seal the deal for £10 million.
However, in swooped Inter who have been long-term fans of the 26-year-old. Wan-Bissaka is known to prefer a move away from the Premier League this summer, with Inter having the advantage in that sense. The Italian club have also reportedly hijacked the deal by offering £15 million for the defender, out-bidding West Ham.
But, will that be enough for United?
United’s Wan-Bissaka price tag
With Inter now leading the way with £15 million on the table, the Serie A side now have the advantage, however this is still below United’s asking price.
The Daily Mail have reported that the Red Devils are holding out for £18 million for the defender, which isn’t much above the sums being negotiated at this time. It’s unexpected that United will waver on the fee, with the club desperate for more funds in order to complete some of their transfer signings currently sat in limbo.
PSG’s Manuel Ugarte and Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt have both been stalled for some time now with personal terms agreed for both, however the transfer fees appearing to be a sticking point. United have submitted a more recent bid for both de Ligt and Mazraoui however this was rejected by Bayern.
It’s thought that West Ham’s determination to sign the right-back will see them do battle with Inter, however whether either team are happy to stretch up to the asking price remains to be seen.
