Manchester United have turned down Galatasaray’s initial bids for midfielder Scott McTominay, as negotiations continue between the clubs. McTominay, a product of United’s youth academy, has caught the eye of several clubs, including the Turkish giants.
Despite United’s financial constraints and the need to offload players to balance the books, they remain firm on their valuation of McTominay.
Last summer, the club set a £40 million price tag on him, and his impressive form last season ensures that figure won’t be dropping.
Galatasaray, seeking to bolster their midfield, have targeted McTominay, alongside other options like Tottenham’s Pierre-Emile Højbjerg.
However, their initial offers have not met United’s expectations. According to Manchester Evening News, the Red Devils have rebuffed several bids from the Turkish club.
United view McTominay, who still has a year left on his contract with an option for an additional year, as a valuable squad member.
The club believes his market value is significant, and they are not in a hurry to sell, especially with other players, including Casemiro and Harry Maguire, also on the transfer list.
Galatasaray’s pursuit of McTominay is further complicated by the financial implications. Matching United’s valuation and McTominay’s wages could be a stumbling block for the Turkish side.
United fans will watch closely as the transfer saga unfolds, hoping their club navigates the transfer window effectively. While Galatasaray may continue their pursuit, it remains to be seen if they can meet United’s demands and secure McTominay’s services.
