Manchester United ‘will submit’ €50m Bid for 27-Year-Old Goalkeeper

Manchester United are reportedly set to submit an offer for Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana as uncertainty grows over David de Gea’s future.

According to La Gazzetta Dello Sport (via mufcMPB), talks between the Red Devils and the Nerazzurri are entering crucial stages. Erik ten Hag’s side ‘will submit’ an upfront offer of €50 million this week.

Onana and Ten Hag have previously worked together at Ajax and enjoyed success. The Cameroonian made 145 appearances across competitions under the Dutch coach, keeping 58 clean sheets. They won the Eredivisie title three times together and could be reunited at Manchester United.

The 27-year-old followed Ten Hag out of the Johan Cruyff Arena last summer and joined Inter on a free transfer. He has impressed at the San Siro, keeping 19 clean sheets in 41 games across competitions this past season.

A move for Onana comes with doubts growing over De Gea’s future with United. The Spanish goalkeeper’s contract is days away from expiring and a new deal is yet to be signed off.

De Gea, 32, endured a mixed past campaign at Old Trafford amid questionable performances. He did win the Premier League’s Golden Glove with 17 clean sheets in 38 games. However, he was mistake-prone during the season, particularly at fault for Ilkay Gundogan’s winner in Manchester City’s FA Cup final win over United.

Inter are experiencing financial complications and may be willing to cash in on Onana. He has four years left on his contract after only just arriving at the San Siro last summer.
