Noussair Mazraoui Joins West Ham in €16M Transfer

Noussair Mazraoui featured in 29 matches for Bayern Munich last season.

Noussair Mazraoui will transfer from Bayern Munich to West Ham United. The deal involves an initial fee of €16 million (approximately £13.47 million) and could include an additional €3.5 million (around £2.95 million) in performance-related add-ons. Mazraoui, a target for several clubs this summer including Manchester United is currently negotiating personal terms.

Born in the Netherlands, Noussair Mazraoui began his career at Ajax where he made a significant impact. He joined Bayern Munich on a free transfer in 2022 and became a regular fixture for the Bundesliga club, playing in 29 matches across all competitions last season. West Ham’s acquisition of Mazraoui represents a major boost for their squad as they aim to enhance their defensive capabilities.

In other transfer news, West Ham are also negotiating with Aston Villa for the potential signing of striker Jhon Duran. Villa is open to selling Duran, who joined from Chicago Fire for approximately £18 million in January 2023. Despite his high-profile transfer, Duran has had limited opportunities in the Premier League making only three starts. Duran is eager to explore new opportunities and West Ham’s interest could provide him with a fresh start.

These moves underscore West Ham’s proactive approach in the summer transfer market as they work to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
