Bayern Munich defender Noussair Mazraoui is set to join Manchester United from Bayern Munich, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Moments ago, Romano confirmed that an agreement was reached for Aaron Wan-Bissaka to sign for Premier League rivals West Ham, in a deal worth £15m.
It was repeatedly mentioned that Mazraoui’s move to United was almost entirely contingent on Wan-Bissaka departing Old Trafford.
Earlier today, David Ornstein of The Athletic relayed that after weeks of talks, Bayern finally accepted United’s proposal for Mazraoui.
It’s understood that the Red Devils offered Vincent Kompany’s side €15m plus €5m in bonuses.
An agreement over personal terms had already been struck between United and Mazraoui, who made it clear that his primary objective was to reunite with Erik ten Hag in England.
The pair worked together to great effect at Ajax.
A previous report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that Ten Hag wanted Mazraoui as the Dutch coach believes that the full-back can potentially unlock the misfiring Antony.
Romano took to X (formerly Twitter) and revealed that Mazraoui’s transfer to United is poised to get over the line.
The Italian journalist wrote, ” Noussair Mazraoui to Man United, here we go!”
“Green light as planned after Wan-Bissaka’s move to West Ham.”
“Mazraoui will cost €20m add-ons included, payment terms favorable as Man United wanted.”
“Mazraoui signs five-year deal + one more year, negotiated by Rafaela Pimenta.”
