Fabrizio Romano claimed on 9 August that the Hammers are looking to sign the right-back after securing the deal for Jean-Clair Todibo. Now, Florian Plettenberg has claimed that both clubs are in contact and want to finalise the deal as early as today. There is an expectation that an agreement will be reached. The Sky Germany journalist adds that verbal agreement between the two clubs has been reached, and personal terms have been agreed upon as well.

Talks between the two sides are at an advanced stage, and the defender‚Äôs medical has been scheduled for the next three days. Plettenberg wrote on X: ‚ÄúEXCL | Advanced stage in the negotiations between Manchester United and West Ham about a permanent deal of Aaron Wan-Bissaka. ‚ÄúBoth clubs are in contact now and want to finalize the deal today. And they will. Medical is planned for the next 3 days. ‚ÄúVerbal agreement between West Ham and Wan-Bissaka is done. Personal terms are all agreed as revealed on August 1st. He can sign a contract until 2030. Done deal very soon.‚Äù The Hammers are set to confirm the signing of Todibo today, and the Nice defender will become their seventh signing of the summer.

Bayern Munich defender Noussair Mazraoui is expected to move to Old Trafford once the Red Devils ship out Wan-Bissaka. Sport Italia Inter, Nantes ask 30 million for Zez?©. Premier strong on him: West Ham negotiates The road that could lead Nathan Z?©z?© to Italy and in particular to Inter seems uphill. While it is true that the Nerazzurri are interested in the French defender to strengthen the back line, it is also true that, according to what was gathered by the editorial staff of SPORTITALIA, the requests of his club to let him leave are currently very distant from the evaluations made in Milan. Nantes starts, at least for now, with a request of 30 million. A figure that can be negotiated, but in addition to this, the strong interest from the Premier League for him must be noted: at this moment Zeze is closer to playing in England than in Italy. Above all, West Ham has shown its interest in a concrete way in the last few hours, which in defense is also engaged in negotiations for another objective of our clubs, namely Todibo, followed by Juventus. The team coached by Lopetegui is however not the only one to have shown interest in him from the British championship."
