While the final transfer fee is yet to be decided, it is now clear that Manchester United will cough up at least £50m in order to close this deal.
Further, it appears that Palace also expect to part ways with Wan-Bissaka this summer, and they have already begun looking for his potential successors.
As per journalist Kristof Terreur, the London club has held exploratory talks with Atlanta’s Belgian full-back, Timothy Castagne.
