- West Ham have reached an agreement to sign full-back Mazraoui from Bayern Munich
- Manchester United are also reported to be interested in the 26-year-old Moroccan.
- The Hammers have also rejected a deal for Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran
West Ham have agreed a £13.5m fee with Bayern Munich for right-back Noussair Mazraoui plus £3m in add-ons.
Mazraoui, 26, has spent two seasons at the Allianz Arena, having joined on a free transfer from Ajax in the summer of 2022.
The full-back came through the ranks of Ajax, where he played under current Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.
He was also a member of the Moroccan national team that overcame adversity to reach the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup.
There were reports that United were circling the player, but now West Ham are close to signing him.
Bayern Munich’s Noussair Mazraoui will join West Ham for an initial fee of £13.5m plus £3m
The full-back will become Julen Lopetegui’s fourth signing since taking over at the Hammers
West Ham, now managed by Julen Lopetegui, have made three major signings so far in this transfer window.
Promising youngster Luis Guilherme joined the club from Palmeiras, while goalkeeper Wes Foderingham arrived on a free transfer following his departure from Sheffield United.
West Ham also secured the signing of Max Kilman from Wolves, which will strengthen their defensive ranks.
The Hammers are also pursuing Aston Villa striker John Duran but their bid of £32m plus 18-year-old midfielder Lewis Orford was rejected.
