A big-money signing whose relevance to Manchester United has waned under Erik ten Hag has accepted personal terms with Galatasaray, but the expected transfer value will leave Ten Hag with his head in his hands, according to reports.

Questionable transfer market moves have contributed significantly to Manchester United’s stagnation in the post-Ferguson period.

Big money has been spent on signings of players who, simply put, haven’t delivered at Old Trafford.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka, a right-back for Manchester United, started well but has since faded.

The former Crystal Palace man is an outstanding defender in one-on-one situations, but he is limited on the ball and lacks offensive production.

As a result, Diogo Dalot has replaced Wan-Bissaka as Ten Hag’s first-choice right back.

Wan-Bissaka did make 22 Premier League matches last season, but they were primarily owing to an injury issue at left defender. Wan-Bissaka, in fact, either covered left-back or right-back when Dalot went to the left side.

Manchester United are in the process of clearing out their squad, and Wan-Bissaka is one of the players they will consider offers for.

United’s desire to cash in this summer is compounded by the fact that they exercised their one-year option on Wan-Bissaka’s contract at the start of 2024.

As a result, he’s about to enter the final 12 months of his contract, and the club no longer has the security of a one-year option.

The solution to Manchester United’s problem looks to be Turkish behemoth Galatasaray.

Wan-Bissaka agrees to personal terms with Galatasaray, according to reports.

The reigning Super Lig champions have identified Wan-Bissaka as their top transfer target at right back.

According to beIN Sports Turkey, Wan-Bissaka was completely prepared to accept the four-year contract offer.

A recent update from Turkey states that a total agreement on personal arrangements has been reached.

Wan-Bissaka will reportedly earn around €3.5 million per year in Turkey. That translates to a weekly income of around £55,000.

Wan-Bissaka has reportedly’shook hands’ with Galatasaray, and with that component of the deal completed, the focus has switched to negotiating a transfer fee.
