In the “next few hours,” Manchester United is anticipated to make a bid for Inter Milan custodian Andre Onana.
La Repubblica claims that Manchester United also have a “draught agreement” in place for the player’s possible deal at Old Trafford, which FC Inter News has confirmed.
Despite Gloved and Proven: De Gea’s Response to Doubters after Golden Glove Win earning the Premier League’s Golden Glove this season, United was anticipated to look for a new custodian this summer.
Onana, who trained with the Dutch coach at Ajax, is seen to be the ideal custodian for Erik ten Hag because he is better with the ball in his feet and better suited to his style of play.
After making an impression for Inter this season, particularly in the Champions League, where he was one of their stars in their run to the competition’s final, he has been connected with clubs all around Europe.
As a result, Manchester United has been associated with him, and recent reports indicate that they are getting closer to making a deal.
According to La Repubblica, Inter is seeking at least €60 million for the custodian and will make their first offer “in the next few hours.”
According to the newspaper, United will come close to that sum by including a “series of bonuses” in their proposal, which will raise the starting price they give.
The Red Devils also already have a ‘draft agreement’ of Onana’s contract in place after his agent worked on a deal with them.
Now it is simply a case of working out an agreement with Inter, who certainly need the money but are unlikely to let a key player leave on the cheap.
