Man Utd Makes Bold Decision on Onana & Bayindir’s Future
The transfer landscape for Galatasaray’s goalkeeper search has taken a dramatic turn following Manchester United’s acquisition of Belgian shot-stopper Senne Lammens.
The move, confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, has instantly placed United’s two current senior goalkeepers, Andre Onana and Altay Bayındır, as potential targets for the Turkish champions.
For weeks, Galatasaray has been on a relentless quest to find a high-profile successor to their legendary goalkeeper Fernando Muslera.
Initial interest was focused on Manchester City’s Ederson, but negotiations have proven to be complex. This led Galatasaray to widen their search, with names like Diogo Costa and Gianluigi Donnarumma also being linked.
Now, with Manchester United securing Lammens in a deal reportedly worth £18.2 million, the futures of both Onana and Bayındır at Old Trafford are in serious doubt.
United’s goalkeeping situation had already been a source of internal discussion, with both Onana and Bayındır enduring an error-prone start to the season.
The arrival of Lammens, who is viewed as a long-term option to challenge for the number one spot, now leaves Manchester United with four senior goalkeepers, including veteran Tom Heaton.
This overstocked situation presents a golden opportunity for Galatasaray.
