According to a new report from renowned Sky Sports Germany journalist Plettenberg, Bayern Munich defender Mazraoui's path to departure has been restricted. If the Moroccan winger now wishes to leave Bayern, he can only do so in one of two ways: either by being sold directly by Bayern, or by moving on loan but with a mandatory buyout clause included in his contract.
Mazrahi himself is reportedly not inclined to be loaned out to another club, preferring to secure a permanent transfer deal with his new owners to ensure his career stability. This stance undoubtedly increases Bayern's leverage in negotiations, making it necessary for any potential transfer to fulfill this requirement of his.
Transfer talks between Bayern and Premier League side West Ham United over Mazrahi are currently underway, but the two sides have yet to reach a final agreement. Bayern's bid for Mazrahi is €20 million, a price that could be a no-brainer for West Ham United. However, this price is not non-negotiable as the transfer market continues to evolve and teams adjust their needs.
In addition, the report also states that Manchester United are still keeping a close eye on Mazraoui. However, it won't be easy for United to sign the Moroccan winger as they first need to address their backline. Specifically, United need to sell their existing defender Wan Bissaka before they can free up space and transfer funds for Mazraoui. This condition definitely increases the difficulty and uncertainty for United to sign Mazravi.
