Aaron Wan-Bissaka is reportedly wanted by Galatasaray but Manchester United remain firm on their demand of €20m (£16.91m/$21.39m).
- Wan-Bissaka could leave Old Trafford

WHAT HAPPENED?
Rumours of Wan-Bissaka’s potential departure from Old Trafford have intensified in recent weeks, with both Galatasaray and Fenerbahce linked to the defender. According to Turkish media, Galatasaray are making substantial progress in negotiations to secure Wan-Bissaka’s signature. Reports from Bein Sports Turkey suggest that the deal is “nearing completion,” with Galatasaray reportedly offering a four-year contract to the player.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Despite the Turkish club’s optimism, Manchester United have not budged on their valuation of Wan-Bissaka. The Premier League side is holding out for a fee exceeding €20 million, a sum that could pose a challenge for Galatasaray. The club exercised a one-year extension option in January, keeping him under contract until June 2025, which gives them the edge in negotiations.
DID YOU KNOW?
Should the deal for Wan-Bissaka fall through, Galatasaray have lined up potential alternatives. French defenders Lorenz Assignon and Nordi Mukiele are considered viable options to strengthen their right-back position. However, Wan-Bissaka remains the top target due to his proven experience in the Premier League and his defensive capabilities.

WHAT NEXT?
For Wan-Bissaka, a move to Galatasaray could offer a fresh start and an opportunity to become a key player in a new environment. The Turkish league presents a different set of challenges and could be an ideal platform for him to rejuvenate his career after enduring a challenging season at Old Trafford.
