It seems like Noussair Mazraoui could potentially be making his way to Old Trafford this summer. Manchester United has reportedly been given a boost in the summer transfer window after West Ham backed out of a deal to sign the talented player. According to recent reports from Germany, West Ham had initially reached an agreement with both Mazraoui and his club Bayern Munich, but negotiations with his agent fell through.
As a result, the Hammers have completely walked away from the deal, leaving the door open for the Red Devils to swoop in. It appears that United manager Erik ten Hag is eager to bring in Mazraoui, as he believes the 26-year-old right-back could help revive the career of fellow teammate Antony at Old Trafford.
Mazraoui is no stranger to playing under ten Hag, having won three Eredivisie titles while at Ajax before making the move to Bayern in 2022. He is currently under contract with the Bundesliga giants until 2026 and has made 55 appearances for them so far. However, it seems like he could now be on the move.
At Bayern's end, they are open to parting ways with Mazraoui and are hoping to fetch a fee of anywhere between €25m and €20m. On the other hand, United sees a more realistic price for the player to be between €15m and €20m. This could potentially be a great deal for the Red Devils, as Mazraoui played a crucial role in helping Bayern clinch the Bundesliga title in 2023, as well as the DFL-Supercup in 2022.
Mazraoui is also a valued member of the Moroccan national team, having earned 28 caps and playing a significant role in their journey to the World Cup semi-finals in Qatar two years ago. During his time at Ajax, Mazraoui formed a formidable partnership with current United star Antony, with the duo operating down the right side of the field together.
His impressive performances did not go unnoticed, as he was crowned Ajax Talent of the Year for the 2018-19 season and also won the Goal of the Season award in 2021-22. All of these accomplishments make him a highly sought-after player in the transfer market.
