According to a new report from West Ham United news outlet Claret & Hugh, Manchester United defender Wan Bissaka is facing a major hurdle in his transfer to the club - the issue of financial compensation. The England international, in his quest to move to West Ham United, is insisting that United offer a substantial financial compensation to ensure that the transfer goes ahead.
It is reported that West Ham United have expressed a strong interest in Wan-Bissaka and are willing to pay the £18 million transfer fee demanded by Manchester United. However, West Ham United are unable to meet Wan-Bissaka's personal requirements in terms of salary, which has become a key factor in preventing the transfer from being finalized.
Wan-Bissaka himself is open to joining West Ham United but he is in no hurry to push the deal through. He is sticking to his salary expectations and is not willing to compromise on the issue. Wan-Bissaka is currently in the final year of his contract with United, which means he will be entitled to a substantial signing-on fee if he chooses to leave the club when his contract expires next summer.
Wan-Bissaka's agent is reportedly actively communicating with the United side in an attempt to secure a portion of the £18 million transfer fee as financial compensation for the player. Such an approach is aimed at balancing the interests of both sides, allowing West Ham United to successfully sign Wan-Bissaka and ensuring that the player himself receives the financial rewards he deserves during the transfer process.
There is also some pressure on the United side. They need to make necessary adjustments to their squad before the end of the summer transfer window, and the departure of Wan-Bissaka will be an important part of it. However, how to meet the player's salary requirements and at the same time recoup enough money from the transfer is undoubtedly a huge challenge for Manchester United.
