While the 29-year-old defender has been a pivotal figure for Manchester United over the last few seasons, it is reported that he is not a part of the future plans of new part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Since joining United from Benfica in 2017, the Sweden international has amassed 258 appearances, netting four goals, and contributing seven assists in that time.

However, his involvement in the current Premier League campaign has been limited to just 14 starts, as he has been hampered by injuries throughout the season.

According to reports from Turkish publication A Spor, Lindelof has been singled out as a top defensive target for Galatasaray in the upcoming summer transfer window.

The report adds that the Red Devils are expected to bolster their options at centre-back when the transfer market reopens, and Lindelof might find himself deemed surplus to requirements as the club seeks to generate funds for their recruitment efforts.

It is understood that a potential transfer fee in the range of £15m to £20m has been proposed for the Sweden captain, with Galatasaray expressing keen interest in securing his signature.

However, the 29-year-old may not be the only defender departing Old Trafford in the summer, with speculation surrounding the futures of Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans.

As a result, United's defence could look very different in the 2024-25 campaign, especially with Ratcliffe expected to prioritise a new centre-back in the offseason.
