According to a new report from veteran Sky Sports Germany journalist Plettenberg, Manchester United FC are actively planning a heavyweight deal at the back, as they are seriously considering replacing current right-back Wan-Bissaka with Moroccan international Mazraoui. This change in strategy has directly led to a significant drop in United's transfer asking price for Wan-Bissaka, which currently stands at just £10 million.
Previously, Plettenberg has revealed that both Manchester United and West Ham United have expressed strong interest in Mazrahi. Bayern Munich, as Mazlavi's current owners, bid as much as 25 million euros for him. However, with United's internal strategy adjustment, Wan-Bissaka's future has become uncertain, which also adds new variables to Mazlavi's transfer.
Plettenberg further pointed out that Wan-Bissaka's role in this potential deal is crucial. Manchester United have taken the initiative to lower their price tag for Wan-Bissaka in order to facilitate the arrival of Mazlavi, a move that has certainly opened up opportunities for other clubs interested in bringing Wan-Bissaka to the club. One such potential buyer that cannot be ignored is West Ham United.
West Ham United have begun to reassess their transfer strategy in the face of Manchester United's unsolicited concessions. It is reported that they are seriously considering abandoning their pursuit of Mazrahi and targeting Wan-Bissaka instead. This shift not only reflects West Ham United's recognition of Wan-Bissaka's ability, but also their flexibility in the transfer market.
For Manchester United, the introduction of Mazraoui will undoubtedly inject new vitality into their backline. The Moroccan international is known for his excellent speed, defensive ability and offensive awareness, and his arrival is expected to further enhance United's offensive and defensive strength on the side. Although Wan-Bissaka is also a good player, but in the United's tactical system does not seem to fully play their potential. Therefore, United's adjustment of transfer strategy is not only a long-term planning for the team's future, but also an optimization and upgrading of the existing lineup.
