Galatasaray are keen on signing a new shot-stopper, and they are interested in the services of Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir. The Manchester United goalkeepers have not lived up to the expectations, and the Red Devils are willing to let them leave if they manage to sign a top-quality shot-stopper before the window shuts.
According to a report from Caught Offside, Galatasaray are considering making a move for Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir, having missed out on their priority target Ederson Moraes. The Manchester City shot-stopper is set to join rivals Fenerbahce; as a result, the Istanbul-based outfit are now looking at alternatives.
Manchester United paid a significant fee to sign Onana from Inter Milan. While he was expected to be their number one going forward, the former Ajax star has not lived up to the expectations. Ruben Amorim has preferred having Bayindir in goal in the Premier League, but even the Turkish international has been inconsistent.
As a result, the Red Devils are in the market for a new goalkeeper on deadline day. They have revived their interest in Emiliano Martinez and have stepped up their efforts to sign the Aston Villa goalkeeper in the last hours.
The Argentine goalkeeper has reportedly given the green light to the move, and Manchester United are now looking to strike a deal with Aston Villa. The Argentine international is expected to be their new number one, which has opened the door for the departure of Onana or Bayindir.
While it is still unclear who will take up the backup role, much will depend on the offers Manchester United receive in the coming hours. Galatasaray are strongly considering a move for one of the duo.
They would prefer Onana as their new number one, but his wage demands could prove a significant stumbling block. As a result, Turkish international Bayindir appears to be the more realistic option.
Manchester United are open to offers for both Onana and Bayindir, but they are expected to keep hold of one to compete with Martinez. Meanwhile, Galatasaray are anticipated to table an offer for one of them in the next few hours.
