Manchester United Set to Finalize Signing of 27-Year-Old Sensation in Less Than 72 Hours
Andre Onana, a 27-year-old goalkeeper for Inter Milan, is anticipated to join Manchester United within the next three days.
According to Gazzetta Dello Sport via Sport Witness, Manchester United are poised to recruit Andre Onana. Recently, the Red Devils have been in negotiations with Inter Milan, and a contract is expected to be finalized within the next 72 hours.
David de Gea’s official departure has played a significant role in accelerating Onana’s transfer to United, according to a report that implies a deal will be finalized by Wednesday. In 12 years, the Red Devils will have a new number one for the first time.
De Gea’s contract with the club has expired, and despite the club’s efforts, they have been unable to extend his stay. The Spain international departs as a free agent after more than a decade of service to the club. His departure was almost certain more than a week ago, and United has been actively seeking a replacement goalkeeper since then.
The Red Devils had Onana in their sights while negotiating with De Gea, and once his departure became a possibility, they began to up the ante. While negotiations have been ongoing for some time, the official departure of the Spanish international has reportedly accelerated the transfer, and United are prepared to meet Inter Milan’s demands.
Inter stands to earn over €50 million, including incentives, from the sale of the 27-year-old goalkeeper, with the majority of the transaction having already been finalized. The Italian giants were in urgent need of funds and their sale of the former Ajax star, who they had signed for free a year prior, was certainly a brilliant business move.
In the meantime, Manchester United are on the verge of signing a sensational player who has been in the form of his life over the past year. He was a major contributor to Inter’s Champions League dominance last season. And, his arrival at United will undoubtedly enable them to once again contend for major titles.
Inter has Anatolij Trubin, Yann Sommer, and Hugo Lloris in mind as potential replacements for the 27-year-old Onana, who is due to depart.
