Manchester United has officially announced Bayindir's departure, with Vitak absent to undergo a medical! Zirkzee's loan move is just one step away.

Manchester United made it official on Friday: 28-year-old Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayindir is heading to Celta Vigo on a one-year loan. The Spanish club has a purchase option worth a maximum of €4 million, with the final amount tied to his playing time and results. According to reports, Celta will assume Bayindir's full salary for the next campaign. If the move becomes permanent, United will keep a buyback option and a share of any future transfer fee.

Bayindir joined from Turkish club Fenerbahçe in September 2023 for a €5 million transfer fee, but has only made 17 appearances since then. Moving to Celta will give him a chance to compete for the starting goalkeeper role, as the team will feature in both La Liga and the Europa League this season.

After the deal was finalized, Bayindir first reached out to Celta fans through a selfie video, already being in Spain.

"Hello Celta fans, I'm Bayindir. I'm very happy to be here and look forward to seeing you soon at Balaídos," Bayindir then said in Spanish. "Celta forever!"

Bayindir also posted a farewell message on social media to Manchester United. "Thank you for all the songs, every message, and every moment we shared," Bayindir wrote. "Your support means a lot to me, and I will carry this feeling in my heart throughout the next chapter of my life. I will miss Old Trafford, but this is not a goodbye. I wish everyone at the club a successful season. My heart and support will always be with you. Looking forward to seeing you again soon, Red Devils!"

After completing Bayindir's deal, United's next step is to sell another goalkeeper, Radek Vitak. The 22-year-old Czech's move to Middlesbrough is also close to being finalized, with United receiving a fixed fee of £7 million plus an additional £7 million in add-ons.

If Middlesbrough secure promotion to the Premier League from the Championship next season and Vitak meets certain appearance thresholds, United could earn up to £14 million in total. Additionally, United will have a 35% sell-on clause and a priority buyback option for £20 million.

Vitak was not included in Manchester United's squad for Saturday's match against Paris Saint-Germain, and he has been given permission to travel to Middlesbrough for a medical and to complete the transfer. The 22-year-old goalkeeper is unwilling to remain as a benchwarmer at United for long, believing that being a starter is more beneficial for his future development.

Another United player close to leaving is striker Joshua Zirkzee. Italian media report that the club has approved his loan move to Juventus in Serie A. The Dutch forward, who joined in 2024 for €42.5 million, has played 75 matches over two years, scoring only 9 goals.

According to Italy's Gazzetta dello Sport, negotiations between Manchester United and Juventus have made significant progress, with a loan agreement reached and only a few details left to be ironed out. The most crucial point is whether the loan includes a mandatory purchase clause.

Juventus officials are increasingly optimistic about finalizing the deal to loan Zirkzee without a mandatory buy option. United, on the other hand, does not want the buyout to be optional; they aim to secure a permanent transfer for the 25-year-old striker next year.

Juventus is currently training in Perth, Australia. Although they have signed French forward Kolo Muani, manager Spalletti stated before the weekend friendly against Inter Milan that his team needs another striker, and they do not require exceptional goal-scoring ability.

"There is a gap in that area of the pitch, but we can fill it," Spalletti said. "We don't necessarily need a striker who scores 20 goals per season. I believe the player we want can help the team reach a total of 20 goals. We play on Sundays and Thursdays, so we need more goal-scoring options for rotation."

Manchester United, meanwhile, will face Paris Saint-Germain in Gothenburg, Sweden. Zirkzee has been included in the 22-man squad, indicating that his departure is not yet at the final stage. However, Zirkzee may continue to be a substitute. In the previous friendly, Carrick started Mbeumo as the center-forward, signaling to Zirkzee his fate for the new season: if he stays, he will be the third-choice striker behind Sesko and Mbeumo.

Although Zirkzee can also play as a No.10, that position belongs to Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, whom everyone knows is an "iron man" — his substitute is essentially a permanent benchwarmer.

Facing reality, Zirkzee, according to Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, is seriously considering a departure for the first time this summer. He is happy to return to Serie A, which he considers the most suitable league for his playing style.
