Marco Garcés, football director of Celta Vigo, has lifted the lid on one of the hottest transfer targets of the Galician club's window: negotiations with Altay Bayındır are now at a very advanced stage, and the final details could be ironed out within the next few hours.
A logical exit from Manchester United
The Turkish goalkeeper is set to leave Manchester United, where he never managed to cement a place in the starting eleven. Kept out by André Onana, he has essentially played a backup role since his arrival in England, far from the playing time he had hoped for.
At 28 years old, Bayındır still has plenty of room to develop at the highest level. Recognised for his aerial presence, his reflexes and his composure in decisive situations, he sees Celta Vigo as a concrete opportunity to reclaim a starting role.
A stated priority for the Galician club
On the Vigo side, this recruitment addresses a need that was clearly identified ahead of the season: strengthening the goalkeeper position. The fact that Marco Garcés is speaking so openly about an ongoing matter is in itself a strong signal, reflecting the management's confidence in the outcome of the negotiations.
If the deal is concluded as expected, Bayındır will discover La Liga, a championship renowned for its tactical demands and competitive level. For Celta, he would represent an experienced addition capable of bringing stability and composure to the backline.
If Garcés' words are anything to go by, the official announcement appears to be only a matter of time.
