Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has traveled to Turkey with several club officials ahead of the Intercontinental derby between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray.

The Blades have been scouting the 21-year-old keeper this term as they consider their options in goal ahead of next season.
Dean Henderson has been in great form for Sheffield United but is on loan from Manchester United and there is no guarantee he will stay on with the Blades.
Wilder and the management at Sheffield have close ties to Fenerbahce through former club director Selahattin Baki.
Baki left Sheffield to join the board at Fenerbahce over the summer.
Wilder and his team met up with Baki before the game and will be present at the stadium.

Fenerbahce value Bayindir as being worth £12.5m and are prepared to sell the keeper.
In fact, all players will be up for sale as the club must work towards reducing mountain debts.
