Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka is on the verge of joining Turkish giants Galatasaray, with personal terms between the player and the club now agreed upon.
Wan-Bissaka, who is up for sale at United, has been in discussions with Galatasaray for several months. According to reports from Fanatik, the transfer has made significant progress after the player’s representatives agreed to personal terms with the Turkish club over the weekend.
The agreement includes terms on wages and contract length, leaving only the transfer fee to be settled between the two clubs. Galatasaray values Wan-Bissaka at £8 million, while Manchester United is holding out for £12 million for the fullback.
Wan-Bissaka’s time at Manchester United has been marked by inconsistency and unfulfilled potential. Despite being a £50 million signing from Crystal Palace, he has struggled to meet expectations at Old Trafford. His tenure with the Red Devils ended on a somewhat positive note, as he was part of the squad that triumphed over Manchester City to win the FA Cup. However, that victory may have been his last appearance for the club.
With Wan-Bissaka entering the final year of his contract, Manchester United is reportedly open to selling him this summer. The club is keen to recoup some of the investment made in the defender, who has not managed to secure a consistent starting position under various managers.
Galatasaray’s interest in Wan-Bissaka highlights their ambition to strengthen their squad as they aim for domestic and European success. The Turkish giants are known for their passionate fanbase and competitive spirit, which could provide Wan-Bissaka with a fresh start and the opportunity to revive his career.
As negotiations between Manchester United and Galatasaray continue, both clubs are expected to find a middle ground on the transfer fee. The move would not only benefit Wan-Bissaka with more playing time but also help United streamline their squad and financials ahead of the new season.
