Manchester United are considering Lazio goalkeeper Chrīstos Mandas as a potential replacement for Altay Bayındır, who is expected to leave in the summer transfer window. However, rumors suggest that Manchester City has shown more interest in the 22-year-old, even making initial contact with his entourage about a potential move. Mandas has been able to showcase his talent in recent weeks, stepping up as the first-choice goalkeeper for Lazio due to Ivan Provedel’s injury.
Having started the last six league games and impressing with three clean sheets, Mandas’ performances have caught the attention of Manchester City, who are eager to secure his signature.
