Wan-Bissaka sets conditions to leave Manchester United
According to The Sun, Wan-Bissaka is willing to take a pay cut to move to West Ham. Wan-Bissaka’s contract with MU will expire in the summer of 2025. The 26-year-old defender currently earns around £90,000 a week at Old Trafford.
In the latest development, the English defender has asked the “Red Devils” to compensate millions of pounds for the salary reduction when moving to West Ham. In case Man Utd does not meet this request, Aaron Wan-Bissaka will decide to stay until the end of his contract and MU will face the risk of losing this player for free.
Joao Neves to Man Utd officially completed
PSG have confirmed the successful signing of midfielder Joao Neves from Benfica for a fee of up to 70 million euros. According to PSG’s homepage, Neves has agreed to sign a five-year contract. The Ligue 1 champions had to spend 70 million euros for this deal, along with midfielder Renato Sanches moving to Benfica on loan with a buyout clause. This means that Neves’s move to MU is unlikely to happen as the Red Devils were also very interested in the Portuguese midfielder, but the transfer fee was the reason why this deal could not happen.
Newcastle welcomes England midfielder
According to The Telegraph, Newcastle are close to signing centre-back Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace for a fee of no less than £60 million. Negotiations between the two clubs are going very well, and the two sides will reach an agreement this week.
Arsenal return to the race to sign Osimhen
According to Italian media, Arsenal are making moves to recruit Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, in the context that the Nigerian striker wants to leave. Although Osimhen has a contract release clause of up to 130 million euros, Napoli is ready to negotiate if they receive a suitable offer for both parties. It is known that in addition to Arsenal, some other big clubs such as Chelsea, Liverpool, MU and PSG are also closely following this deal.
