According to a report by beIN Sports Turkiye, Aaron Wan-Bissaka is the subject of interest from Galatasaray.

The Manchester United full-back will pen a four-year contract with the European regulars.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka and his topsy-turvy ride at Manchester United
Aaron Wan-Bissaka has blown hot and cold since joining Manchester United from Crystal Palace in July 2019. The Red Devils broke the bank to secure the services of the Englishman. However, he has had phases where he has been a bit-part player while producing inconsistent displays.
Wan-Bissaka was in and out of the starting lineup at Manchester United in the 2023/24 season, amassing less than 2,500 minutes of game time across 30 appearances. Meanwhile, the 26-year-old faces an uncertain future at Manchester United heading into the summer transfer window as he will enter the final year of his contract in a few days.
Wan-Bissaka’s contract situation has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs, including Inter Milan and West Ham United. However, the Manchester United defender’s next destination will likely be Turkiye, with Galatasaray closing in on securing his services.
Turkish move on the cards?
Galatasaray’s interest in Aaron Wan-Bissaka is understandable. The Turkish champions want to sign a right-back in his peak to sustain their position at the top of the Super Lig standings while performing well in Europe. However, they failed with their opening offer to sign the 26-year-old Manchester United wide man.
The European regulars continued their talks with Manchester United for the Englishman after identifying him as a priority target. The negotiations have progressed well, with Galatasaray on the verge of securing his services. Meanwhile, Wan-Bissaka will sign a four-year contract with the Turkish giants.
With Wan-Bissaka closing in on moving to Turkiye in the summer transfer window, Manchester United must delve into the market for a right-back. It will be interesting to see who they turn to as they search for a replacement for the 26-year-old full-back.
