Man Utd ‘discussing’ ambitious swap deal after Premier League rivals swoop for top Erik ten Hag target

They have previously been linked with the defender.

A potential swap deal involving Manchester United full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka is being discussed by intermediaries, according to a new report, as his future remains in the balance.

United have been active in the summer market thus far.

After completing their first signing of the summer in Joshua Zirkzee, highly-rated centre-back Leny Yoro made the move to Old Trafford from Lille.

In fact, shortly after Yoro’s arrival was announced, it was also claimed that United have agreed personal terms with Paris Saint Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte.

In terms of departures, it looks increasingly likely that Aaron Wan-Bissaka will be one of the names to leave United this summer.

West Ham were said to be in ‘advanced talks’ with United over a summer move for the 26-year-old, five years after he joined from Crystal Palace for £50 million.

But according to The Athletic, Wan-Bissaka has turned down West Ham as he favours a move to Serie A giants Inter Milan.

In fact, the idea of Wan-Bissaka joining Inter and Netherlands international Denzel Dumfries going the other way is currently being discussed by intermediaries.

That being said, talks around the switch are not at an advanced stage but Dumfries has been previously linked with a transfer to United, who have been keeping close tabs on the Dutchman’s delicate contract situation.

Dumfries’ current contract in Milan will expire in 2025.

West Ham, meanwhile, are closing in on a deal to sign Bayern Munich defender Noussair Mazraoui, who has also been linked with a move to Manchester United.

Mazraoui, a Morocco international, has an agreement in place with The Hammers and the proposed is at an advanced stage, according to David Ornstein, but a deal is not yet complete.
