Manchester United are reportedly closing in on their fifth deal of the summer transfer window.
According to reports in Spain, an agreement is near between Man United and LaLiga side Celta Vigo for out-of-favour goalkeeper Altay Bayindir.
Faro de Vigo claim that Celta Vigo hope to secure a loan deal for Bayindir in the coming days as Claudio Giraldez wants the 28-year-old to compete with Andrei Radu as the first choice stopper next season.
Bayindir, who joined the Red Devils from Fenerbahce in September 2023, has less than a year remaining on his contract at Old Trafford, though Man Utd have the option to trigger a 12-month extension.
However, Spanish publication AS state there is very little chance of United receiving a fee from Celta, while Bayindir would have to reduce his wages to join permanently.
Bayindir started last season Man United’s first-choice goalkeeper in the Premier League, but lost his place to summer signing Senne Lammens at the beginning of October and has not made a competitive appearance since.
He was an unused substitute in Man Utd's pre-season friendly win over Atletico Madrid on Saturday and appears to have slipped down the goalkeeping pecking order over the course of the summer.
On the move? Altay Bayindir
Karl Darlow has arrived on a free transfer after his exit from Leeds, while experienced stopper Tom Heaton has agreed a one-year extension on his contract and is likely to continue as the third choice option.
Furthermore, 19-year-old goalkeeper Kit Margetson has moved to Old Trafford following the end of his contract at Championship side Swansea.
Man United do remain active in the transfer market, with the focus on a third midfield signing to the follow the recent arrivals of Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans.
