Manchester United have reached an agreement with Besiktas for the transfer of goalkeeper Atlay Bayindir during the summer, according to Sporx.

Man Utd star has agreed transfer to Turkey

The Turkish ace was determined to leave the Red Devils for Besiktas on deadline day this month. Personal terms were agreed with the Super Lig outfit, but United did not grant his departure.

The Red Devils could not find a suitable deputy for Senne Lammens and preferred to keep Bayindir for the season. It is now reported that the 27-year-old will formally leave for Besiktas in July.

United have reportedly agreed on a package worth €5m for his transfer, and everything is sorted for his move to Istanbul. The move won't be made official until the end of the ongoing campaign.

Alongside Bayindir, the likes of Manuel Ugarte and Joshua Zirkzee could leave too. Ugarte is eyeing a new challenge away from the Premier League, having failed to play regularly for the Red Devils.

Zirkzee is likewise eyeing a move back to Serie A. Roma, Juventus and Inter Milan are among his admirers. The Dutchman did not push for an exit this winter, but will ask for one later this year.
