Report: Manchester United enter talks to sign Fenerbahce goalkeeper Altay Bayindir
Manchester United could bring in Fenerbahce's Altay Bayindir as a back-up goalkeeper.
Manchester United are reportedly in the hunt to bring Fenerbahce goalkeeper Altay Bayindir to Old Trafford before the transfer window closes.
The Red Devils have already made a significant goalkeeper acquisition by securing Andre Onana on a five-year contract, with an option for an additional year. This move came after the departure of long-standing number one David de Gea, who left the club as a free agent at the end of June.
Apart from De Gea, another goalkeeper likely to exit the club this summer is Dean Henderson. Crystal Palace have engaged in conversations with Manchester United about the potential signing of Henderson, who spent the previous season on loan at Nottingham Forest.
Crystal Palace are seeking to address the impending goalkeeping vacancy expected due to Vicente Guaita's anticipated departure from Selhurst Park. Guaita's desire to leave has led to his exclusion from the senior squad.
In response to the potential loss of their second-choice goalkeeper, Manchester United have reportedly turned their attention to Altay Bayindir from Fenerbahce.
The club have initiated negotiations with Fenerbahce for a possible transfer and is believed to be in advanced stages of discussion.
Altay Bayindir, a 25-year-old goalkeeper, has been a consistent presence for Fenerbahce since his move from Ankaragucu in 2019. He has amassed 146 appearances in the Super Lig and has become a regular member of the Turkish national team.
