In search of the goalkeeper capable of succeeding David De Gea, free of any contract after twelve years under the tunic of the Red Devils, Manchester United has finally found happiness with André Onana (27 years old). Quickly targeted by Erik ten Hag who worked with him from 2017 to 2022, the Cameroonian goalkeeper was particularly appreciated by the Dutch coach, especially for his qualities with the ball between his feet. An attractive profile which therefore pushed the English club to discuss with Inter Milan.
Long, the negotiations have been spread since June but are finally taking the turn desired by the different parties. With a first proposal of 45 million and a second of 50 million euros approaching the 60 million euros claimed by the Nerazzuri, Manchester United quickly affirmed its desire to recover the player passed by FC Barcelona. The positions continued to get closer to the point of reaching an agreement this Sunday evening.
Official release expected this week
According to the latest indiscretions of Sky Sport Italia, the offer was slightly revised upwards since bonuses were added to the 50 million euros of the transfer. The player for his part will sign a 5-year contract, ie until June 2028. His departure for Manchester will take place between Tuesday and next Thursday while the formalization will take place in stride.
For its part, Inter Milan, which will collect a nice check, is launched on the signing of two elements since an offer slightly less than 6 million euros will arrive from Bayern Munich for Yann Sommer. The Italians will also try to snatch Anatoliy Trubin from Shakhtar Donetsk. If the player agrees, the Lombards are expected to submit an offer of €10m plus bonuses for the Ukrainian goalkeeper.
