Manchester United and Royal Antwerp have reportedly advanced talks over a possible move for 23-year-old Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens.
According to a report by Ben Jacobs on Give Me Sport, Senne Lammens is the subject of interest from Manchester United. The Red Devils are keen on signing a goalkeeper before the summer transfer window shuts down. So, the 23-year-old Royal Antwerp shot-stopper has emerged as a target for the struggling Premier League giants.
Talks between Manchester United and Royal Antwerp have advanced, with the Zottegem native striking an agreement on personal terms with the Premier League club. However, while the Red Devils want to secure Lammens’s services by forking out £17 million, the Jupiler Pro League outfit will demand £20 million to part ways with him.
Senne Lammens and his rise in Belgium
Senne Lammens has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in Europe since joining Royal Antwerp from Club Brugge in July 2023. The 23-year-old spent his formative years in Belgium, passing through the academies at RC Bambrugge and FCV Dender EH before graduating from the youth division at Club Brugge.
However, the Belgian goalkeeper has risen in prominence during his spell with Royal Antwerp, turning out over 50 times thus far for Royal Antwerp while keeping 12 clean sheets and conceding 86 goals. Meanwhile, Lammens’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs. Manchester United will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
Premier League move beckons?
Senne Lammens has been on Manchester United’s radar for a long time. The continued interest is understandable, considering Andre Onana has struggled for consistency since arriving at Old Trafford from Inter Milan two years ago. In addition, Altay Bayindir has been dreadful in his two outings thus far in the 2025/26 season. So, Lammens has emerged as a viable target for Manchester United.
The Red Devils have recently intensified their efforts to sign the Zottegem native in the summer transfer window by advancing the talks to secure his services. Meanwhile, Royal Antwerp will demand around £20 million to part ways with Lammens, with Manchester United hoping to sign him for £17 million.
Meanwhile, personal terms do not pose an issue, with the 23-year-old Belgian goalkeeper ready to join Manchester United in the summer transfer window. It will be interesting to see if the two clubs find an agreement on the transfer fee in the coming days.
