Transfer rumors are slowly emerging, and the Altay Bayındır claim has made a huge splash. Reports suggest that Fenerbahçe’s former goalkeeper will be targeted by a major Istanbul club in January.
Altay, who starred in Turkey's 2-2 draw with Spain in the final match of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers in Seville, made 6 crucial saves and was the standout player of the match.
In 2023, Altay Bayındır transferred from Fenerbahçe to Manchester United for a €5 million fee. The national goalkeeper has played 17 matches with the English club and kept a clean sheet in 3 of those games.
The Istanbul club interested in Altay is Beşiktaş. It is reported that the black-and-white club will approach Manchester United in January to loan the goalkeeper. If Altay is open to the move, he could sign with Fenerbahçe's eternal rival.
