United keeper Bayindir joins Celta Vigo on loan
Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir has joined Celta Vigo on loan for the 2026-2027 season, subject to registration.
Celta also has the option to buy Bayindir at the end of the season, for a reported £3.5 million ($6.7 million), with the Spanish club also said to be covering his wages.
Bayindir joined United from Fenerbahce in September 2023 on an initial four-year deal and made 17 appearances in all competitions.
He kept three clean sheets in that time, making 48 saves, but he also made three errors leading to goals.
Celta finished sixth in LaLiga last term and will be competing in the UEFA Europa League this term.
United has made strengthening the goalkeeper position a priority this transfer window, with Andre Onana and Bayindir both departing on loan, while Radek Vitek is also expected to join Middlesbrough.
It has also brought in Karl Darlow to join Senne Lammens and Tom Heaton, while also signing 20-year-old Kit Margetson from Swansea City.
United also made another signing looking to the future on Friday 9AEST), with 18-year-old Cristian Orozco joining from Fortaleza CEIF, and he will initially be supported by the academy while "he settles into life at Manchester United", a club statement read.
