The latest news from Sky Sports suggests that English Premier League rivals West Ham United FC are in active negotiations over the transfer of Manchester United defender Wan Bissaka. The 26-year-old English defender's future at United no longer seems clear, and he is currently negotiating a departure clause with the club in a bid to secure a move to West Ham.
According to a detailed report by Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth, West Ham United have been interested in Wan-Bissaka for a long time, and they believe that the defender, who is known for his defensive solidity, can significantly improve the team's defensive strength. As a result, the West Ham United side has shown great sincerity and determination in the transfer market by opening in-depth talks with United.
It is worth noting that Wan-Bissaka's contract with Manchester United is about to enter its final year, which gives him some initiative in the transfer negotiations. According to previous news, Wan-Bissaka has asked Manchester United for as much as £7 million in severance pay, which has increased the complexity and difficulty of the transfer to a certain extent. However, judging from West Ham United's positive attitude, it seems that they are willing to offer the young defender a contract that meets his expectations in order to facilitate the deal.
Although Wan-Bissaka's de-transfer price is currently only €20 million, his market value is obviously much more than that considering his excellent performance in the Premier League and his youthfulness. For West Ham United, bringing in Wan-Bissaka would be a very cost-effective move.
