Galatasaray will reportedly look to beat Manchester United to 23-year-old Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Chris Wheeler of the Daily Mail, Senne Lammens is the subject of interest from Galatasaray. The Turkish Super Lig champions are keen on signing a goalkeeper before the summer transfer window shuts down. So, the 23-year-old Royal Antwerp shot-stopper has emerged as a target for Cimbom.
The Zottegem is also a target for Manchester United, with the Red Devils hoping to secure his services in a deal worth £17 million. However, Galatasaray will aim to steal a march on the Premier League club, although Lammens is keen on joining Manchester United in the final days of the summer transfer window.
Senne Lammens and his career so far
Senne Lammens has established himself as one of the best players in his homeland since joining Royal Antwerp from Club Brugge in July 2023. The 23-year-old spent his formative years in Belgium and graduated from the youth division at Club Brugge. However, he has risen in prominence during his spell with Royal Antwerp.
The Belgian goalkeeper has made over 50 appearances thus far for Royal Antwerp while keeping 12 clean sheets and conceding 86 goals. Meanwhile, Lammens’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs. Manchester United and Galatasaray are among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the final days of the summer transfer window.
Premier League move beckons?
Manchester United’s interest in Senne Lammens is understandable. Andre Onana has blown hot and cold since arriving at Old Trafford from Inter Milan two years ago. Additionally, Altay Bayindir has failed to make his mark in his limited opportunities. So, Lammens has emerged as a viable target for Manchester United.
As for Galatasaray, the Turkish Super Lig champions are keen on reinforcing their goalkeeping unit before the summer transfer window shuts down after parting ways with Fernando Muslera. Several candidates, including Ederson Moraes, have emerged on Galatasaray’s radar, with Lammens also an option worth considering.
Meanwhile, despite Galatasaray’s intention to hijack Manchester United’s move for Lammens, the 23-year-old Belgian goalkeeper remains keen on moving to Old Trafford. So, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the Royal Antwerp shot-stopper.
