The right-back is being linked with Manchester United amid reports that Aaron Wan-Bissaka might be on his way out of Old Trafford.
One of the toughest transfer market challenges Sir Jim Ratcliffe has to face is eradicating the ‘Manchester United tax’.
Past transfer dealings mean United are thought to be working on a net spend of just £50m this summer, in light of Profit & Sustainability Rules. Ratcliffe refused to meet Everton’s £70m asking price for Jarrad Branthwaite and instead landed Leny Yoro - a European hot prospect - for an initial £52m. Reports suggest he could be used as part of a swap deal with Inter for Denzel Dumfries. Meanwhile, Noussair Mazraoui has been linked with United, some might say unsurprisingly given he is a former Ajax player of Erik ten Hag.
Even if these figures are a couple of million off, United have their cap. A player is worth a certain value no matter which club they move to, Ratcliffe can argue. He has won four domestic titles - three in the Netherlands and one in Germany - and is a World Cup semi-finalist. So for £16.5m, perhaps he is worth his salt.
