Manchester United are closing in on signing Andre Onana, with the player ready to sign a €6.5-7 million-a-year deal.
According to Alfredo Pedullà, Manchester United are on the verge of acquiring the services of Andre Onana. The 27-year-old shot-stopper is expected to soon make the move to the Premier League as the Red Devils are desperate to have him in their ranks.
Manchester United were in negotiations with David de Gea over a contract extension. However, they could not reach an agreement with the 32-year-old, and he has officially left the club as a free agent.
With the Spanish international no longer a part of their setup, Manchester United are keen on signing a new world-class goalkeeper. And, they have their eyes on Andre Onana, who has been in sensational form over the past 12 months.
He joined Inter Milan ahead of last season after his contract at Ajax ran out. The 27-year-old started off in fine fashion and went from strength to strength throughout the season. He was one of the main reasons behind Inter’s dominant run in the Champions League where they ended up playing the final.
With the Italian club struggling for finances, they are ready to part ways with the shot-stopper. Having acquired him for free last season, selling him for over €50 million will surely be a great piece of business for the club.
Manchester United are well aware of the situation and have been pushing hard for Onana of late. They have already submitted multiple bids that were rejected. However, there is real optimism in the camp that they will soon reach an agreement with Inter.
According to reports the Italian club are ready to accept an offer of around €55 million. As far as the player is concerned, he has agreed personal terms with United. Onana is keen on making the move to the Premier League and reuniting with his former manager Erik ten Hag.
The 27-year-old shot-stopper is all set to sign a five-year deal with the English club, and his wages will be €6.5-7 million a year. On top of that, there will be performance-related bonuses. While the negotiations are still on, an agreement is expected to be reached between the two parties in the coming days.
lossing a player of this(world class)status is a shame to the club and the league in general.
something needs to be done(chinise handover ), it is becoming at the expence of the fans, who are emotionally glue to this club.
