Manchester United's sale of 26-year-old right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka to West Ham United has been basically completed, the transfer fee between the two sides has been negotiated, and the player has agreed to personal treatment, and the medical examination originally scheduled for Sunday afternoon at 16 o'clock has now been postponed to Monday, but as long as it passes the inspection, "Spider-Man" will be officially announced as a member of the Hammers.
It is understood that the reason for the postponement of the medical examination was a disagreement over contract negotiations, but West Ham had successfully negotiated with Aaron Wan-Bissaka's agent on Sunday night to resolve the final hurdle. Now, there are no barriers to transfer.
West Ham will pay Manchester United £15 million for a transfer fee, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka will sign a five-year contract. West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui wants to bolster his defensive at right-back as versatile wing-back Ben · Johnson has joined Premier League promoted Mapswich. Aaron Wan-Bissaka is the third new defender signed by the Hammers, having previously brought in Max · Kilman from Wolves, intercepted Juventus and acquired Todibo from Ligue 1 Nice.
Fans joked that Manchester United owner Sir Jim · Ratcliffe paid Todibo in exchange for West Ham to buy Wan-Bissaka, who had only one year left on his contract. The Hammers, who originally only wanted £10 million, have now increased by 50 per cent.
The 26-year-old joined United from Crystal Palace for £50 million in 2019 and made 190 appearances, but under Ten Hag Portugal, 25-year-old full-back Diogu · Darlow were the first choice at right-back, so Wan-Bissaka was reluctant to renew his signing as a substitute. After joining West Ham, he will compete with the 31-year-old Coufal for the starting XI and his chances of winning are greatly increased.
At the same time, although Aaron Wan-Bissaka's transfer fee of 15 million pounds is less than one-third of the price of 50 million that year, Manchester United will be "profitable" in the financial report! Football finance expert Kiran · Maguire confirmed that thanks to the instalments, clubs can still make a profit by selling players below the purchase price.
Wan-Bissaka signed a five-year contract when he joined, and according to the instalment rules, he is worth £5 million on United's current books, while West Ham paid £15 million, regardless of the instalment, and the full amount is recorded at the time of accounting, so United will make a profit of £10 million on Wan-Bissaka this season, which will be a significant help in complying with the Premier League's PSR profitability and sustainability rules.
As a result, United also have the funds to bring in two Ajax veterans from Bayern Munich, De Ligt and Mazraoui, who are Ten Hag's favourites who will also undergo a medical on Monday. German media revealed that the two had said goodbye to their Bayern teammates, and a photo of De Ligt's arrival in Manchester was exposed.
Manchester United legend Rio · Ferdinand has expressed concern about De Ligt's injury situation, but United fans are at least confident that the 24-year-old Netherlands centre-back will be more durable than Varane. The 31-year-old France legend left the Red Devils this summer after his contract expired to join Serie A promoted Macomo, but he left the game after 20 minutes in the first game with an injury!
There are also rumours that Manchester United could still bring in a new third centre-back and the club are in contact with 29-year-old former Atletico defender Mario · Hermoso. The Spain player, who can play as a centre-back or left-back, could be a useful addition to the defence as Manchester United's left wing-backs Luke · Shaw and Tyrell ·Malaysia suffered injuries last season. According to Gol Digital, Manchester United have offered a contract and Hermoso is asking for an annual salary of £5.1 million, which equates to about £100,000 a week.
