Besiktas are interested in loaning Hannibal Mejbri from Manchester United after their request to sign him permanently was refused.Besiktas, a massive Turkish club, are considering a last-minute loan deal for Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri after having a bid to sign the Tunisian international rejected.

After the Istanbul-based team secured the permanent acquisition of center back Eric Bailly, the two teams have been in talks recently. Now that the Turkish transfer market is still open, they are considering a move for midfielder Hannibal in an effort to further enhance their squad.

At Birmingham City, where he spent the entire season, Hannibal scored once in 41 appearances, 23 of which came at the opening of the game. He is currently 20 years old and in high demand, but he has stayed at United despite offers to permanently sign him.Borussia Dortmund had been interested in the midfielder throughout the summer, but the Red Devils turned down Besiktas’ offer of a loan with a buyout clause. According to a rumor in the Turkish publication Fanatik, which was published by Sport Witness, they will now make a loan offer without the option to purchase.

Despite being out sick, Hannibal has not played in any of United’s four Premier League games so far this season, but Sofyan Amrabat has since been added to Erik ten Hag’s squad. He didn’t make a difference in the defeat at Arsenal.

Senol Gunes, the manager of Besiktas, is looking for an attack-minded midfielder, and he thinks Hannibal fits the bill. United has the option of a loan contract, which would allow them to lower their wage costs without jeopardizing their starting lineup. Ten Hag now has the final say.Just before United manager Ten Hag took the helm at Old Trafford in May of last year, Hannibal and Alex Telles got into a fight on the practice field. The internal fallout followed United’s embarrassing 4-0 loss away at Brighton at the close of the previous season, when morale was at an all-time low under then temporary manager Ralf Rangnick.

Hannibal has earned 26 international caps for the Tunisian senior team. 2019 saw him go from Monaco to United after being scouted by teams including Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain. He made three senior appearances for United, including the opening kick of the season finale, a loss against Crystal Palace, in 2021–2022.Following the acquisition of Mason Mount from Chelsea earlier this summer, Amrabat joined Old Trafford. Scott McTominay stayed with the team despite a £30 million transfer offer from West Ham.
