Manchester United are accelerating a move for a midfielder who has suffered TWO relegations from the Premier League, while Fabrizio Romano has provided a late update on the Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs De Ligt double swoop.
Man Utd are on the cusp of completing major signings number three and four. Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro were the first to arrive and the delay in wrapping up a move for Bayern Munich right-back, Noussair Mazraoui, related to the sale of Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
However, West Ham have agreed to sign Wan-Bissaka for £15m and personal terms are in place. Wan-Bissaka has also passed a medical.
As such, both of those moves are expected to be finalised today, while Fabrizio Romano has confirmed centre-back De Ligt will also sign his Man Utd contract on Tuesday too.
Taking to X on Tuesday morning, the trusted transfer guru stated: “Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui are set to sign their Manchester United contracts later today. Plan confirmed.”
The double swoop for Mazraoui and De Ligt could ultimately cost a combined €70m/£59.7m (including future add-ons).
However, Man Utd were successful in securing favourable payment terms with Bayern regarding De Ligt. The €45m they’ll pay as the guaranteed portion of his €50m transfer will be paid in instalments over a three-year period.
