Man Utd forced to insert clause into Wan-Bissaka deal to avoid collapse Crystal Palace’s late demands over Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s impending transfer to Manchester United almost scuppered the deal – only for the Red Devils to succumb to their wishes. Widespread reports claim United will pay £45million up front with £5million in add-ons for the 21-year-old, who will receive a five-year contract at Old Trafford. The player was expected to be officially unveiled as a United player on Friday after pictures emerged of him in the club’s shirt, accompanied by a video of his entourage receiving a guided tour around their Carringtontraining complex. However, there was some confusion surrounding the deal when the official announcement wasn’t forthcoming, despite the fact personal terms had been agreed and a medical had been passed. However, some light has been shed on the issue, with Palace’s late wish to insert a sell-on clause causing the delay and leaving United with little alternative but to accept their terms. BBC Sport’s David Ornstein explains that the clauset will only come into effect if Wan-Bissaka is sold for more than £50m in the future. Neil Custis of The Sun delves deeper, writing that the transfer ‘almost collapsed’ after Palace’s ‘late demand’, with United forced to agree ‘to avoid embarrassment and save the deal’. The move ‘came close to being called off’ on Friday evening before United eventually backed down. While Palace will be disappointed to lose Wan-Bissaka, both parties will be pleased with the terms of the deal as United also retained the 25% sell-on clause that exists in Wilfried Zaha’s contract. He has been strongly linked with a big-money move to Arsenal. United had set a deadline of 1 July on the transfer of Wan-Bissaka – the day their players return for pre-season training – and they are still expected to finalise it ahead of then.
