Turkish champions Galatasaray have identified Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka as their first-choice target for the right-back position, according to Sabah (page 16).
The 26-year-old had an injury-plagued campaign with the Red Devils last term, but he still made 30 appearances and played a big part in the FA Cup final against Manchester City.
Wan-Bissaka will enter the final year of his contract next month, and it is reported that he is top of the list to bolster Galatasaray’s right-back department.
The Crystal Palace graduate is currently valued at £17 million, but the Super Lig giants are expecting the price to drop towards the end of the summer transfer window.
The Red Devils have already triggered an extension clause in Wan-Bissaka’s contract until 2025. There are no talks over a possible renewal.
Despite this, the club should not lose him on the cheap. Galatasaray are hoping to sign him for less than £17m, but United could secure the fee from another Premier League club
Wan-Bissaka may also prefer to continue in the Premier League over a move abroad. It does not make sense to sell him for less unless the right-back insists on joining Galatasaray.
United needed to sell the defender to recoup funds before finding a suitable replacement.
