Turkish club Eyüpspor has reportedly submitted an official offer to sign Manchester United defender Tyrell Malacia on a season-long loan. The 26-year-old Dutch international has been sidelined since the start of the season and is not part of manager Ruben Amorim’s plans.
According to sources close to StrettyNews, negotiations between the two clubs have begun, though it is not yet clear whether the deal will include a purchase option. The Turkish transfer window remains open, providing Eyüpspor with a crucial opportunity to secure a deal that would be impossible in most of Europe.
Malacia spent the second half of last season on loan at PSV, but a permanent move failed to materialize. Earlier this summer, a potential move to Spanish club Elche also collapsed over a mandatory purchase clause.
For Eyüpspor, the move for a player with experience from Feyenoord, PSV, and Manchester United is a bold statement of intent. The club is looking to strengthen its squad with high-profile players to boost its international visibility.
For Malacia, the loan offers a chance to get his career back on track. With limited opportunities at Manchester United, a move for regular playing time is seen as essential for the defender to regain his form and return to his best. It remains to be seen if the Dutch international is open to the move.
