Ruben Amorim is reportedly ready to allow Andre Onana to depart from Old Trafford, with the Cameroonian goalkeeper willing to move to the Saudi Pro League this summer.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Andre Onana is the subject of interest from the Saudi Pro League. A move in the summer transfer window might be possible, with the Manchester United goalkeeper ready to embark on an adventure in the Middle East. Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim has approved the Cameroonian shot-stopper’s departure.
Andre Onana and his Manchester United woes
Andre Onana has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Manchester United from Inter Milan in a deal worth £44 million in July 2023. The African goalkeeper arrived at Old Trafford amid hype and fanfare surrounding him after his exploits for Inter Milan in the 2022/23 season. However, he has been error-prone in the last two years.
While the 28-year-old has shown flashes of brilliance throughout his stint with Manchester United, he has not been faultless. In addition, the Red Devils’ woes on the field have contributed to Onana keeping only nine clean sheets in 40 appearances across all competitions this term while conceding 53 goals.
Meanwhile, Onana’s stock in the market is high, with several well-known clubs across Europe setting their sights on him. Recent reports have linked the Cameroonian international with AC Milan. However, the Saudi Pro League will aim to beat the competition to the Manchester United goalkeeper’s signature in the summer transfer window.
What next?
It is hardly surprising that Andre Onana has emerged as a target for the Saudi Pro League. Clubs from the competition have shown interest in several goalkeepers, with Ederson Moraes a top target. Recent reports have claimed that the Brazilian international is increasingly likely to move to the Saudi Pro League in the summer transfer window.
However, Onana is also a viable target, and he can slot into the goalkeeping department at any top Saudi Pro League club. A summer deal might be on the cards, with the Manchester United goalkeeper ready to depart from Old Trafford.
In addition, Ruben Amorim has approved Onana’s departure from Old Trafford. So, it will be interesting to see if the 28-year-old Cameroonian international calls time on his spell with Manchester United in the coming months.
