Turkish side Trabzonspor are eyeing one of either Manchester United’s Axel Tuanzebe or Leicester City’s Yannik Vestergaard as they target a new centre-back this summer.
That’s according to Milliyet, who say one of those two names could move ‘in the coming days’.
The newspaper reports that the Turkish side are looking for a new centre-back to bolster their squad and have set their sights on Tuanzebe and Vestergaard as they have been ‘put on the sales list’ by Manchester United and Leicester respectively.
Trabzonspor have been following the two players ‘closely’ for a while and want to finish the job by securing a loan deal with an option to buy for either player.
Tuanzebe has returned to Manchester United this summer after an unsuccessful loan spell at Napoli in the second half of last season. That followed a similarly unsuccessful spell at Aston Villa, and he ‘cannot find a place in the team’ under Erik ten Hag.
Vestergaard, meanwhile, enjoyed a difficult first season with Leicester last year after a move from Southampton.
He wants to leave and join a team where he can play regularly and is ‘warming’ to the idea of a move to Trabzonspor, where he would play alongside Danish friends and enjoy Champions League football.
It now remains to be seen whether Trabzonspor will move for him or Tuanzebe, with both players on their list of options and efforts set to be made.
