Adana Demirspor’s 16-year-old wonderkid Deniz Dönmezer being scouted by Man United | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim does not seem to be too happy with his options in goal as per recent reports and is planning a revamp of sorts come the end of the season.

As relayed by The Peoples Person, Andre Onana’s recent mistakes have not impressed the Portuguese and he is looking at OGC Nice’s Marcin Bulka as his replacement.

The reserve keeper could also change with Altay Bayindir having grown frustrated with his lack of minutes since his move to Manchester in 2023.

Since he was signed from Fenerbahce, the 26-year-old has made only three appearances with two of them coming this term under former boss Erik ten Hag.

Goalkeeping revamp

He is yet to play a single minutes in the Premier League nor has he started a game since the former Sporting Lisbon boss took charge. He is simply too good to remain a backup and wants regular minutes.

Clubs in England and in his homeland are interested and surprisingly, the Red Devils could be about to sign yet another shot-stopper from Turkiye to replace the 26-year-old.

As per journalist Salim Manav, Adana Demirspor’s 16-year-old wonderkid Deniz Dönmezer is on United’s radar having scouted him extensively this season.

He made his first start in the Turkish league at the age of 15 earlier this season against ex-United boss Jose Mourinho, who is currently managing Fenerbahce, and has gone from strength to strength this season.

The Turkiye U16 international has started seven times this season, and apart from the 20-time English league champions, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Tottenham are also interested in his services.

“Deniz Dönmezer, who plays for Adana Demirspor, was followed by scouts from Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham from the Premier League and Juventus from Serie A.

“Deniz Dönmezer has previously been on the agenda of Hull City and Fenerbahçe,” the journalist wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Juventus, Hull City and Fenerbahçe are also monitoring the player with his current deal valid until 2026.

He has a current market value of €300k (according to Transfermarkt) with Adana likely to demand a lot more should they be forced to part ways with the teenager.

With INEOS now at the helm, it is clear that the club will target only young stars instead of big-name superstars and it will be interesting to see if they can land the Turkish star.
