According to a recent report from the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United have finally decided to pay Wan-Bissaka a whopping seven-figure severance package in order to facilitate his move to West Ham United. The fee, which amounts to £5.6 million, is designed to bridge the gap between Wan-Bissaka's earnings at United and West Ham United and ensure his smooth departure.
Wan-Bissaka is reportedly set to join West Ham United for a fee of £15 million. This transfer not only frees up space for United to bring in reinforcements, but also helps the team raise some money. However, in order to make this deal happen, United had to take on an additional financial burden in the form of a severance payment to Wan-Bissaka.
Wan-Bissaka was earning a whopping £90,000 a week at Manchester United and West Ham United were not prepared to match such a high salary package. In order to balance the interests of both sides, United decided to settle the difference in income by paying a severance package. This decision undoubtedly shows United's flexibility and determination in the transfer market.
United have activated the extension option in Wan-Bissaka's contract in January to ensure that the club can sell him this summer, rather than letting him leave on a free transfer next summer. This move will undoubtedly provide more options and space for United to operate in the transfer market.
However, with Dalot gradually occupying the starting right back position in United, Wan-Bissaka's position in the team was gradually marginalized. As a result, United finally decided to sell Wan-Bissaka in order to raise funds and make room for the team's future reinforcement program.
The transfer is also a new beginning for Wan-Bissaka. He will have a new challenge and opportunity at West Ham United and will have the chance to prove his strength and value in a new environment. As for Manchester United, they will continue to look for the right players to strengthen their squad and be well prepared for the coming matches.
