Al Nassr, the Saudi Arabian side, is looking to sign Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Sadio Mane, Aymeric Laporte, and Alex Telles were among the players added by Cristiano Ronaldo’s team last summer.

The team is however eager to add a full-back this month and the previous weekend saw the rejection of a £20 million approach for Tottenham defender Emerson Royal. As a result, Al Nassr has turned their focus on Wan-Bissaka, who the Telegraph claims is now their top target.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka left Crystal Palace in 2019 to sign a £50 million contract with United. After December, United triggered a one-year contract renewal clause, which means the defender’s deal expires in 2025.

Wan-Bissaka has 18 months left on his contract, thus United is accepting offers. This is true even though he has played in 13 Premier League games so far this season.

According to reports, United rejected a proposal from Inter Milan just recently that would have brought Wan-Bissaka to the San Siro and brought Denzel Dumfries to the team.

Despite his two assists this season, the right-back has shown improvement in the attacking department, but Ten Hag may not be persuaded to keep him here for much longer.

Dalot signed a new long-term contract last year and has already scored two goals this season. The name Jeremie Frimpong has often been associated with a transfer to Old Trafford.

It will be intriguing to watch if United allows their finest defensive full-back to leave to get a player who is more focused on attacking.

Saudi Pro League teams are required to adhere to a cap on the number of foreign players on their team, so Al-Nassr will need to de-register one of its international players to make room for Wan-Bissaka.

With less than ten days left in the European recruitment window, the Saudi club—which has signed prominent players like Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, and Aymeric Laporte—must move quickly to finish their business.
