Celtic are preparing to add to their squad this summer and a deal for Manchester United man Altay Bayindir has been prepared
Celtic are in desperate need for a new goalkeeper this summer, with Joe Hart on his way out of the club following his retirement – and that has seen Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir linked with a move to Glasgow to replace the former Manchester City star.
The Hoops stopper was an inspired signing under Ange Postecoglou back in 2021, and with Rangers having won the title the season before, a new man was needed between the sticks – a position that he filled well with Celtic getting back on track in their league dominance. But his departure means a replacement is needed and United backup Bayindir could be the man to fill his place.

The report by Turkish outlet Aksam states that Bayindir is set to be on his way out of England after appearing in just one game for the Red Devils – their 4-2 away win at Newport County in January.
Celtic have been touted as his next destination, with the club needing to replace the retiring Hart after three years of stellar service from the former Manchester City and England goalkeeper, who won seven domestic trophies from a possible nine in his time in the east end of Glasgow. The Hoops are said to be preparing to add Bayindir, who has been described as ‘world-class’ in one-on-one situations, to their squad, with a four-year contract prepared for the 26-year-old after his Old Trafford nightmare. Bayindir is on a reported £35,000-per-week, which fits in with Celtic’s wage bill.
