Manchester United‘s goalkeeping situation is attracting interest from European clubs as the transfer window closes.
One example is Andre Onana, who may be sought after by his former club, Inter Milan.
With questions about squad depth at Old Trafford and several players either on loan or playing limited roles, clubs outside England are still keen, despite the English window being shut.
Turkish club Besiktas is monitoring the situation closely.
Fans may recall that Besiktas previously showed interest in bolstering their goalkeeping options, having made a summer bid for Manchester United’s Turkish goalkeeper, Altay Bayindir.
According to talkSPORT, Besiktas is still looking at their options and has named an alternative target alongside Bayindir.
The Manchester United goalkeeper is linked with a possible return to Turkey, but this update indicates he isn’t the only player under consideration, as Leeds United’s Illan Meslier is also on their list.
Bayindir has had limited chances this season due to changes in United’s goalkeeping setup with new signing Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp, leading to speculation about his future.
A move back to Turkey could provide him more playing time, especially with international duties in mind.
However, with Besiktas now looking at other options, his situation may be more complex than initially thought.
From Manchester United’s perspective, this adds to ongoing discussions about squad management and depth in important positions.
With several goalkeepers already in place and young prospects rising through the ranks, any decisions about potential departures will consider both performance and financial implications.
As reported, Besiktas would need to finalize any move quickly due to the domestic deadline, leaving little time for lengthy talks.
For now, Manchester United is observing the situation, with Bayindir’s future uncertain and additional targets on Besiktas’ radar.
