Southampton are confident they can sign Manchester United target Justin Bielow ahead of the weekend.
The 26-year-old Dutch goalkeeper is currently in his eighth season with Feyenoord and has eight caps for the Netherlands.
The goalkeeper started all three games of the season. On the bench but.
Before United signed Andre Onana last summer, the club showed “a specific interest” in the player.
Despite ultimately deciding to sign the Cameroonian, the Dutchman continued to be linked with a move to Old Trafford, but the signing of Altai Bayindir on transfer deadline day left the club without the need for another goalkeeper.
Hitchcock Now it is reported that “Premier League newcomers Southampton are confident they can complete a potential £10m deal for Feyenoord goalkeeper Justin Bailou before the weekend following previous interest from Liverpool and Manchester United.”
They have reportedly already received a bid and are confident of completing a deal before Saturday’s match against Nottingham Forest.
“He has made almost 150 appearances for his hometown club and was instrumental in Feyenoord’s Eredivisie-winning campaign in 2022/23 under Arne Slot.”
The goalkeeper was “considering a reunion with Slot at Anfield earlier in the summer”, but those links have recently faded.
Bijlow previously confirmed there had been “contact (with United)” regarding a link with the club, adding: “I want to achieve the highest I can in my career. If that happens, we’ll see.”
If he performs well in the Premier League, a move to Old Trafford remains a possibility, especially with the influx of players and managers from the Netherlands and Eredivisie over the past three years.
With Vyindir’s long-term future at the club also uncertain, perhaps the Red Devils could one day re-sign the Feyenoord player.
