Manchester United is planning a move for Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana from Inter Milan, although it might require some money from player sales to pay for it.
Manchester United is planning to offload at least seven players in the coming weeks as they get ready to spend heavily this summer.
In preparation for his second season as manager, Erik ten Hag wants to make a big purge to reshape the team in his image. Mason Mount’s £60 million transfer is about to be finalized, and other offensive and defensive reinforcements are anticipated to follow.
The club’s ability to sell as many auxiliary squad members as possible will be crucial; names like Harry Maguire, Eric Bailly, Alex Telles, Fred, Donny van de Beek, Antony Elanga, and Dean Henderson are all up for grabs.
Following the club’s shocking withdrawal of their most recent contract offer, David de Gea, who became a free agent after his contract expired a few days ago, is also expected to leave.
Because of this, the Red Devils’ interest in Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana, who played for Ten Hag at Ajax, has increased.
They had a £35 million opening bid rejected for the Cameroonian international earlier this week, but they are anticipated to make a better offer next time, especially if both De Gea and Henderson leave the club.
Onana, who was a key player in the Italian club’s journey to the Champions League final last year, is said to be worth roughly £60 million to Inter.
It is unclear if United will be willing to spend that much money, especially considering that a large portion of their transfer budget has been set aside to buy a center striker this summer.
There are a few less expensive options being explored, such as David Raya of Brentford, Robert Sanchez of Brighton, and Justin Bijlow of PSV.
