Palace reach agreement with United over £50m Wan-Bissaka deal

Crystal Palace have accepted an offer from Manchester United in the region of £50 million for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

According to the BBC’s David Ornstein, the defender is now due to travel to Manchester to undergo a medical as he prepares to complete his move to Old Trafford.

Palace had been holding out for a big fee and it appears that United have finally matched their asking price for their standout defender.

It’s a deal that many expected to happen after lengthy negotiations between both clubs.

Manchester United have also reportedly retained their 25% sell-on clause for Wilfried Zaha, despite suggestions that Palace would try to lower that as leverage in any deal for Wan-Bissaka.

Wan-Bissaka is coming off the back of a standout season for Palace, where he cemented himself as one of the Premier League’s best young defenders.

He now looks set to become the new long-term option for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men at Old Trafford, with the Red Devils looking to find a replacement for Antonio Valencia.
