Andre Onana might not be the only Manchester United star to be headed to Turkiye before the transfer window slams shut.
As per YS TV reporter Reşat Can Özbudak, Eyüpspor have reached an agreement with Manchester United for the loan transfer of Tyrell Malacia.
The only thing pending is the left-back’s green light. Once it arrives, the lone member of the bomb squad will be packing his bags and heading to the Turkish Super Lig.

Malacia off to Turkiye
“The player’s decision is pending!,” the journalist wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
The Dutchman, who has had a terrible time with injuries since his first season in Manchester, had spent the last six months of the 2024/25 campaign out on loan at PSV Eindhoven.

The 26-year-old even won the Eredivisie there, but the league champions chose not to permanently acquire the defender due to his unimpressive displays back at his homeland.
Tyrell Malacia has no future under Amorim, who tried to play him at left wingback on occasions last season, but the former Feyenoord ace struggled big time.

Despite his poor injury record, there has been interest from the likes of Celtic, Porto, Lille, AS Roma and Elche, with a move to Spain collapsing on deadline day.
Turkiye’s transfer window remains open till September 12, and INEOS will be hoping to agree all the formalities by then.
The Netherlands international’s deal is up at the end of the season, so the Red Devils can only earn a fee if Eyüpspor agree to sign him permanently in January.
But at least, INEOS will save a reported £3.9 million on wages (via capology) should the Turkish side agree to pay his full salary. Details should be out soon.
