Manchester United are allegedly willing to compromise their asking price for Aaron Wan-Bissaka as they pursue a move for Bayern Munich’s Noussair Mazraoui.
Wan-Bissaka is expected to leave Old Trafford this summer, with advanced talks with West Ham about a prospective transfer. The Hammers are thought to be ready to pay more than $13 million (£10 million/€12 million), but United are holding out for a number closer to $23 million (£18 million/€21 million).

However, according to talkSPORT, both teams are poised to reach an agreement to facilitate a quick transfer. West Ham had expressed an interest in loaning Wan-Bissaka during Erik ten Hag’s first season as United manager.
Wan-Bissaka was on the verge of leaving United two years ago, but he was retained last summer after improving his performance. Now that his exit appears certain, United has moved its emphasis to Mazraoui, hoping to secure a deal with the Dutch player.
In other news, Football365 reports that United are considering a move for Hoffenheim forward Maximilian Beier, while Liverpool has long admired the 21-year-old.
He has also been linked with moves to Atletico Madrid and Juventus, although neither is willing to pay more than $32 million (£25 million/€30 million). Hoffenheim are reportedly demanding a fee of $44 million (£34 million/€40 million).
Despite Atletico’s and Juventus’ stances, Hoffenheim believe they have a ‘strong chance’ of earning their desired fee this summer. It’s unclear whether United and Liverpool will compete for his services.
