Exclusive update: Man UTD Nears £25m Deal for Dutch Born Star

Man United’s pursuit of Mazraoui from Bayern Munich has intensified, with West Ham now out of the picture, according to recent reports. Valued at £25 million by the Bavarians, the club looks set to secure this prized asset.

Initially, West Ham had negotiated a discount deal worth 20 million euros with Bayern Munich but failed to reach an agreement on personal terms, leading to the collapse of the deal. Subsequently, Man Utd has swiftly moved into advanced stages to finalize Mazraoui’s transfer from the German powerhouse.

In a dramatic turn of events, negotiations between West Ham and the 26-year-old defender’s agent stumbled, ultimately leading to the deal falling apart. With Man Utd now emerging as the frontrunners, talks with Bayern Munich are progressing positively for the acquisition of the Moroccan international.

Having previously played under the guidance of Erik ten Hag at Ajax, Mazraoui’s roots in the Netherlands reflect a potential reunion with former colleagues. Despite concerns about the player’s injury track record following a challenging season, United’s interest remains strong as they evaluate Mazraoui’s suitability to bolster their defensive lineup.

Wyness, Everton’s ex-Chief, highlighted concerns over Mazraoui’s durability, emphasizing the importance of understanding a player’s long-term resilience beyond routine medical assessments. As discussions heat up between Man Utd and Bayern Munich, the decision to secure Mazraoui’s services hinges on various factors, stirring curiosity among fans and pundits alike.
