Man Utd ‘Ready To Offer Wan-Bissaka Plus Cash To Sign Center-Back Target
Recent reports have been circulating for some time that Aaron Wan-Bissaka is ready to leave Old Trafford in search of pastures new – or old – and that he favours a move back to London.
This, according to TeamTalk, is a happy coincidence that could lead to an exchange deal between the two players, with United “ready to offer Aaron Wan-Bissaka” plus cash to bring Guehi to Old Trafford.
“Wan-Bissaka … who joined United from Palace for £50m in 2019, is entering the final year of his contract at Old Trafford and TEAMtalk can confirm there have been no talks over a new deal,” the outlet claims.
Guehi has been named by the press as one of a shortlist containing the likes of Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite, Lille’s Leny Yoro and Nice’s Jean-Clair Todibo who is now out of the short-list of CB’S target for The Reddevils following Uefa new rules.
Doing a swap deal for Guehi by offering Wan-Bissaka in part-exchange could prove an easier and cheaper deal than trying to sign Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite with the Merseyside outfit holding out for £70million for the centre-back.
The report notes that [Palace manager] Oliver Glasner is determined to keep [Guehi] at Selhurst Park, [but] sending Wan-Bissaka back to Palace could help convince him into a sale.
Teamtalk also claim Guehi is ready to take on a new challenge and ”would be open to joining Erik ten Hag’s side.”
Guehi’s reported price tag of £60 million does not stand much lower than that of Branthwaite. United have reportedly valued Wan-Bissaka at €12 million (around £10m), although his market value as per Transfermarkt stands at €20 million (£17m).
