Man United 'reach transfer agreement with medical booked' as announcement imminent
Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir is reportedly nearing a loan move to La Liga side Celta Vigo. The deal is expected to be finalized soon, with the player scheduled for a medical examination in the coming days.
Why it matters
The move highlights squad management strategies at top-tier football clubs as they look to offload fringe players during the transfer window.
Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir appears to be closing in on a move away from Old Trafford this summer. La Liga outfit Celta Vigo have been listed as the club that are expected to sign the Turkey international before the summer transfer window. Bayindir signed for United in the summer of 2023 during Erik ten Hag’s tenure as manager, and the shot-stopper has gone on to feature just 17 times in his three years with the club. United had Andre Onana as their number one goalkeeper for Bayindir’s first two years at the club, before Senne Lammens’ arrival last summer saw a new first-choice shot-stopper emerge at Old Trafford . Bayindir’s future at United has been the subject of uncertainty for some time, particularly after the club signed Karl Darlow as a free agent earlier this summer.
