Wan-Bissaka demanding multi-million pound pay-off from Man Utd to leave with West Ham and Inter keen on transfer
United have already identified his replacement but will have to shift out Wan-Bissaka first
AARON WAN-BISSAKA is demanding a multi-million pound pay-off from Manchester United to leave the club this summer.
SunSport has learned that while West Ham are willing to meet United's £18million valuation for Wan-Bissaka they cannot afford his wage demands leaving the deal in limbo.

Wan-Bissaka is open to joining West Ham, but has no huge desire to leave United and is refusing to sell himself short.
The 26-year-old has less than 12 months left on his contract at Old Trafford.
And he could bank a huge signing-on fee by staying put and leaving on a free transfer next summer.
Wan-Bissaka's representatives are pushing for United to give the player a chunk of the £18m fee they will receive from West Ham in order to get the deal done this summer.

The former Crystal Palace defender has been on the same £90,000-a-week contract at United since he joined the club five years ago.
And he is determined to secure a significant increase, which West Ham cannot offer.
Inter Milan are also interested in Wan-Bissaka and he could sign a pre-contract agreement with the Italian club in January if the West Ham move breaks down.
West Ham have had a busy transfer window under new manager Julen Lopetegui and have already spent more than £100m this summer.

Lopetegui's final request for the club during the summer window is a new right-back to provide competition to Czech Republic international Vladimir Coufal.
What happened to these five forgotten Manchester United wonderkids

West Ham also inquired about Mazraoui, but are resigned to missing out on the Moroccan international with Wan-Bissaka now their main target.
In a potential complication Wan-Bissaka picked up an injury in United's 3-0 defeat to Liverpool in South Carolina over the weekend, but it is not thought to be serious.
