As a backup to Andre Onana, Manchester United has made a £6 million offer for Fenerbahce custodian Altay Bayindir.
United is attempting to get Fenerbahce’s Altay Bayindir, a custodian from Turkey. The Red Devils have reportedly made a £6 million bid for Bayindir, who has been Fenerbahce’s starting centre since 2019 and has 12 caps for the Turkish national team, according to a report from the Turkish website Fanatik. Also, according to Sports Digitale, the Turkish club authorised Bayindir to go outside of Istanbul with his agency and meet with other teams in order to decide his future.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: United have made big changes in goal over the summer, making a dramatic U-turn on a new contract for David de Gea and signing Andre Onana instead for £47m ($61m), a club-record deal for a goalkeeper. United have also sent Nathan Bishop out on loan to Sunderland while Dean Henderson has been linked with a move to Crystal Palace.
AND WHAT’S MORE: Fenerbahce are reportedly targeting Croatia international Dominik Livakovic as a replacement for Bayindir if he eventually leaves.
