Man Utd Double Deal Stalled by Star's Payoff Demand

 

Manchester United is in dire need of funding for their transfer business by selling Aaron Wan-Bissaka to West Ham. However, reports indicate that the right-back is causing frustration among club officials.

Erik ten Hag has determined that Wan-Bissaka is redundant to requirements, and the Red Devils are prepared to sell him to the Hammers for approximately £18 million.

The negotiations between the clubs have been extremely positive, and the player's approval is required to finalize the agreement.

Man Utd intends to allocate the proceeds from his sale to the acquisition of Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui, the defensive tandem from Bayern Munich.

Nevertheless, the unforeseen complications surrounding Wan-Bissaka's potential departure are causing anxiety in the background at Old Trafford.

Wan-Bissaka, as previously stated, is amenable to the possibility of joining West Ham. 

However, Matt Hughes has reported that the full-back is seeking a "multi-million-pound pay-off" from Manchester United to depart this summer.

He asserts that West Ham has consented to pay Wan-Bissaka's price, but they are unable to accommodate his wage demands, resulting in him being in a state of "limbo."

He is "open" to the possibility of joining West Ham, but he will not be sold short. He has the opportunity to earn a substantial signing-on fee by remaining in his current position and departing on a free transfer next summer, as his contract has only 12 months remaining.

Man Utd's double agreement is uncertain

According to the report, West Ham is advocating for Manchester United to allocate a portion of the £18 million they are paying to sign Wan-Bissaka to the defender to finalize the agreement.

However, the Red Devils are hesitant to do so due to their desire to reinvest the funds in two new defender acquisitions, as previously mentioned.

Center-back for Bayern Munich De Ligt and right-back Mazraoui have already agreed with the Red Devils regarding his personal circumstances; the remaining issue is the transfer fee.

According to reports, the Bundesliga's most prominent clubs are seeking approximately £60 million for both players. Manchester United have already experienced the rejection of a joint proposal for the duo this summer.

Dan Ashworth, the sporting director, is therefore eager to expedite the sale of Wan-Bissaka to West Ham to enable Manchester United to augment their offer.

Scott McTominay's prospective departure from Old Trafford shortly could also assist the Red Devils in financing a transfer for De Ligt and Mazraoui.

McTominay has been the subject of two rejected proposals from Fulham, and the club is currently in discussions with Manchester United. It is uncertain whether they will enhance their most recent £20 million offer.

Marco Silva's team may submit an additional offer for the Scotsman shortly. However, they are also considering alternatives, including Fluminense's Andre, who is a long-term target.
