West Ham have been contacted by Bayern Munich over a £25million deal for Noussair Mazraoui, according to HITC.
The news outlet reported on Monday [22 July] that Manchester United and Tottenham have also been contacted, with the Bundesliga giants open to his exit this summer.
It is understood that the 26-year-old full-back is keen on a move to the Premier League, according to Florian Plettenberg, despite his contract running until 2026.
West Ham United offered Noussair Mazraoui deal
Although the right-back is surplus to requirements amid Vincent Kompany’s new reign at the Allianz Arena, fans should not underestimate how exciting this move could be.
Mazraoui’s move to Germany has not worked out perfectly, to say the least, having made 55 appearances since arriving as a free agent in the summer of 2022, missing several matches through injury.
He has been replaced in the starting XI by midfielder Joshua Kimmich and now looks to be on his way out of the club completely after making just 15 league starts last term.
Despite this, the Moroccan international, whose playing style has been compared to Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold [Bundesliga’s official website], is an extremely talented full-back.
The 26-year-old has established himself on the international stage, winning 23 caps for his country, and the Irons would certainly benefit from that kind of player at right-back.
If Julen Lopetegui can help the player rediscover his form from his Ajax glory days, the Hammers will have a player at their disposal who is just as impactful in the attacking third as he is in defence.
The right-back notched 10 goals and nine assists in 137 matches for the Dutch giants before leaving on a free transfer, and West Ham will want him to produce similar numbers if they are to splash £25million this summer.
Mazraoui even has one goal and eight assists to his name during his two-year spell in Germany, but injuries and inability to break into the starting XI seem to have sealed his exit anyway.
