West Ham are making a strong push to acquire Manchester United full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka at a reduced price this summer.
According to talkSPORT, the Hammers are eager to strengthen their defense and are advancing in negotiations with Manchester United to finalize the deal.
Wan-Bissaka could transfer to East London for as little as £15 million (€17.8m/$19.5m), a significant reduction from the original £50 million (€59.5m/$65.1m) that United paid to Crystal Palace in 2019.
Although Manchester United would incur a substantial loss on Wan-Bissaka, the deal is beneficial for both clubs.
West Ham would gain a quality player to compete with or potentially replace Vladimir Coufal, while Manchester United would create space for incoming player Leny Yoro, who is completing his medical ahead of his move from Lille.
Wan-Bissaka was a regular starter for United last season when not sidelined by injury. With only one year remaining on his contract, he appears set to conclude his five-year tenure at Old Trafford.
The England international was part of the squad that won the FA Cup against rivals Manchester City a few months ago, which may have been his final appearance in a red shirt.
The deal is not yet finalized, and it is unclear whether Wan-Bissaka is interested in returning to the capital.
Currently, he is scheduled to join the club’s pre-season tour in the US, but this could change if West Ham submits an official bid soon.
