Manchester United Hoping to Sign 25-Year-old Title Winner
Manchester United targets Feyenoord goalkeeper Justin Bijlow, who is interested in joining a top club.
According to Dutch football magazine Voetbal International reports, Manchester United have expressed interest in acquiring Feyenoord’s talented goalkeeper, Justin Bijlow.
United’s Director of Football, John Murtough, has reportedly reached out to Feyenoord to convey their interest in Bijlow, who is said to be attracted to the prospect of joining one of the world’s biggest clubs.
Manchester United Pursuit of Justin Bijlow Despite Feyenoord’s Resistance
However, Feyenoord has clarified that they have no intentions of parting ways with Bijlow.
Feyenoord are actively attempting to extend Bijlow’s contract and are negotiating with his agent, Ali Dursun, to reach an agreement.
Bijlow, on his part, has no plans to force a move to Manchester United and intends to remain professional.
Nevertheless, if a move for Ajax’s Andre Onana falls through, Bijlow remains a player of interest for United.
Feyenoord’s Determined Stance on Bijlow’s Future
The loss of Bijlow would be a significant blow to Feyenoord, and they are taking an unwavering stance on his future at De Kuip.
However, with Bijlow’s contract set to expire in 2025, the situation could allow Feyenoord to consider a sale if the player does not agree to a contract extension.
Bijlow, a native of Rotterdam, has risen through the ranks of Feyenoord since a young age.
This juncture in his career may be the right time for him to take the next step and pursue new challenges.
Ultimately, the outcome hinges on Feyenoord’s willingness to negotiate and Bijlow’s decision regarding his future.
As the situation unfolds, United and Feyenoord will weigh their options carefully, considering the potential impact on the player’s career and Feyenoord’s aspirations for the upcoming season.
It might also be noted that United No. 1 David de Gea has also decided to leave the Red Devils, who are now in dire need of recruiting a goalkeeper.
