Galatasaray prioritising Aaron Wan-Bissaka move

Turkish champions Galatasaray have reportedly zeroed in on 26-year-old Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka as their priority target.

According to Italian journalist Maurizio Russo, Aaron Wan-Bissaka is the subject of interest from Galatasaray. The reigning Turkish Super Lig champions are scouring the market for a right-back heading into the summer transfer window. And they have identified the 26-year-old Manchester United defender as their priority target.

The Manchester United and Aaron Wan-Bissaka marriage thus far

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has blown hot and cold since joining Manchester United from Crystal Palace in a big-money move in July 2019. While the Englishman has been excellent in the defensive phases and barely puts a foot wrong, he does not have the desired productivity in the final third.

Nevertheless, the 26-year-old has been a regular for Manchester United in the last half a decade, turning out nearly 200 times while chipping in with two goals and 13 assists. However, the 26-year-old faces an uncertain future at Old Trafford heading into the summer transfer window.

The former Crystal Palace full-back will enter the final year of his contract on July 1, with talks over a new deal not progressing. In addition, with Wan-Bissaka failing to fill the requirements of a modern-day full-back, Manchester United will likely part ways with him in the summer transfer window.

What next?

However, the English defender does not have a shortage of suitors pursuing him, with several Premier League clubs keen on signing him. In addition, European regulars like Galatasaray and Inter Milan are interested in the Manchester United full-back. And a Turkish move might be on the cards for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Galatasaray recently identified Wan-Bissaka as a candidate to bolster the defensive unit in the summer transfer window. The Turkish champions are keen on signing a right-back ahead of the 2024/25 season. So, several players, including Zeki Celik, have emerged on their radar. However, the European regulars have zeroed in on the 26-year-old Manchester United defender as their priority target.

Galatasaray might have identified Wan-Bissaka as a priority target for the summer transfer window. However, a move will only see the light of day once their talks with Manchester United and the 26-year-old conclude. So, it will be interesting to see if a Turkish move is in the pipeline for the Englishman.
