Manchester United is reportedly close to selling Altay Bayindir to Celta Vigo on loan for the upcoming season. The Turkish goalkeeper has been linked with a move to La Liga club Celta Vigo as his time at Old Trafford seems to be coming to an end.
Limited Playing Time at Manchester United
Bayindir was signed by Manchester United in the summer of 2023 under Erik ten Hag's tenure. However, during his three seasons with the club, he has only made 17 appearances across all competitions. His playing time was limited due to competition from Andre Onana and Senne Lammens. The addition of Karl Darlow on a free transfer further reduced Bayindir’s chances of regular game-time.
Medical Check-Up and Transfer Announcements
According to reports, Celta Vigo is optimistic about finalizing the deal with Bayindir. The club has scheduled a medical examination for him, which will be followed by his integration into Celta Vigo's training camp in Italy. While Manchester United still plans to include Bayindir in their pre-season friendly against Atletico Madrid in Sweden, his future remains uncertain.
Prospects at Celta Vigo
Celta Vigo is seen as a potential solution for all parties involved. The club hopes to secure the services of Bayindir on loan and provide him with regular playing time. This move could also benefit Manchester United by clearing up their goalkeeper position for the upcoming season.
The transfer process is now in its final stages, with Celta Vigo expected to make an official announcement regarding the signing in the coming weeks.
