Manchester United have been linked with a move for 27-year-old versatile Turkish attacker Yusuf Yazici in the last few days.
According to a report from Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Manchester United will now face a roadblock in their pursuit of 27-year-old versatile Turkish attacker Yusuf Yazici.
Manchester United have shown initial interest in the Turk after being offered the chance to sign him. However, they will not be able to accommodate him in the squad after failing to offload players like Christian Eriksen, Antony, and Casemiro.
The 27-year-old is a player in demand, and several clubs across Europe are keen on him. AC Milan are hoping to sign the player along with Lazio and Atalanta from Italy. In Turkiye, Galatasaray and Trabzonspor are hoping to sign the player as well. In the Premier League, Aston Villa and Everton are both keeping tabs on the player.
The 27-year-old is clearly not short of options, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. And a move to Manchester United would have been an exciting opportunity for him. The Red Devils are one of the biggest clubs in the world and they could provide them with the platform to compete for major trophies.
Manchester United have had a mediocre start to the season, and they will be desperate to bounce back strongly. Signing the right players will certainly help them improve, and the 27-year-old would have been a useful acquisition.
Manchester United could use more midfield depth
Signing a talented player like Yusuf Yazici on a free transfer would be a quality investment as well. The Turkish midfielder was likened to former Arsenal and Real Madrid star Mesut Ozil because of their stylistic similarities, and he would have added creativity and cutting edge in the final third.
The 27-year-old is at the peak of his powers, and he will look to compete at the highest level. It remains to be seen where he ends up eventually. The transfer window has now closed for Premier League clubs, and the only way Manchester United can improve their squad is if they bring in a free agent.
This is a golden opportunity to add some technical ability and creativity to their squad. It will be interesting to see if they take up the opportunity to sign the player in the next few days. However, a move to Aston Villa or Everton might be more realistic amid Manchester United’s struggles to offload fringe players.
