(Football news) The Hammers and Bayern reportedly reached a deal on a move for Mazraoui, with the capital team willing to pay the defender €15.5 million (£13.1 million) and an additional €4 million (£3.4 million) in add-ons.

On Friday afternoon, though, it was said that the transfer had fallen through and the Morocco international had chosen not to go to the London Stadium. Wan-Bissaka was first connected to West Ham in an attempt to address their right-back situation; the Englishman’s transfer is now once again being considered.

Plettenberg believes that Erik ten Hag’s team has agreed to reduce their demands for the former Crystal Palace young player during new negotiations with Manchester United, which are scheduled to take place over the course of the next 48 hours.

West Ham ‘back in for Wan-Bissaka’

Manchester United are said to be willing to accept a fee of around £15m for Wan-Bissaka, who is currently with the squad in the United States on their pre-season tour.

Wan-Bissaka is currently the only senior right-back available for selection, as Diogo Dalot is on an extended break following his involvement for Portugal at Euro 2024.

The defender is out of contract at Old Trafford next summer, and he could potentially become the next player to leave the 20-time English champions.

Wan-Bissaka made the move to Manchester United from Palace in 2019 and has represented the club on 190 occasions.

The full-back featured on 30 occasions in all competitions last term, as he benefitted from the team’s defensive injury problems.

Wan-Bissaka sale could allow Man United to sign Mazraoui

Manchester United are now said to be at the head of the queue for Mazraoui, but the club’s move for the Moroccan hinges on whether they can find a buyer for Wan-Bissaka.

West Ham could ironically now help the Red Devils sign the player that they had wanted, as a switch for Wan-Bissaka would open up space for Ten Hag’s side to move for the ex-Ajax defender.

Mazraoui made 29 appearances for Bayern last season and has represented the club on 55 occasions since arriving from Ajax in the summer of 2022.

However, Vincent Kompany’s side are prepared to let him leave during the summer market.

As it stands, Wan-Bissaka is set to be in the Manchester United squad for Saturday night’s pre-season clash with Arsenal, but the situation could change in the coming hours.
