After 12 years of good and loyal service, David de Gea announced his departure from Manchester United on Saturday. A predictable situation as the negotiations around a new contract for the Spanish porter have reserved many hiccups. To compensate for his departure, the Red Devils have already targeted his suitable replacement: André Onana. The Inter Milan goalkeeper was one of Ajax Amsterdam’s executives when Erik Ten Hag, currently on the Mancunian bench, led the Amsterdammers to the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2019. The Telegraph reports also that the first negotiations have already taken place with the Milanese club although an offer has not yet been submitted by United.
To secure its back, the club has already thought of other alternatives. As reported TyC Sports, the track leading to Emiliano Martinez is not to be totally excluded. It is one of the plans B that the Mancunian board could activate in the event of an about-face in the Onana file. Despite the fact that he feels good in the goals of Aston Villa, the world champion wants to participate in the Champions League especially since he is already 30 years old. The Birmingham club demands 20 million euros in the event of the departure of “Dibu” Martinez. It now remains to be seen when Manchester United will finally launch the big maneuvers.
