Premier League giants Manchester United were involved in a new round of negotiations for a key summer transfer target earlier today, it has been revealed.
The player at the heart of such talks? Andre Onana.
The name of shot-stopper Onana has of course taken its place front and centre in the headlines on the red half of Manchester over the course of the last couple of weeks.
This comes after word was forthcoming that the Cameroonian international has been identified as a leading target to take his place between the posts at Old Trafford next season.
The Red Devils’ transfer team are currently in the process of sourcing fresh goalkeeping blood, ahead of the expected departure of long-time no.1 David de Gea on a free transfer.
And, despite past links with the likes of Porto standout Diogo Costa and AC Milan’s Mike Maignan, Onana, fresh off a stellar campaign, is understood to have made his way to the top of the wishlist of Erik ten Hag.
In turn, it should perhaps not come as much of a surprise to hear of fresh discussions between the respective boards at United, and Inter Milan, taking place.
As revealed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano:
‘Manchester United had new direct talks to be informed on André Onana deal in the last 24 hours.’
It is also noted that the Reds are ‘still waiting to clarify David de Gea situation before deciding on an official proposal’, with Inter demanding no less than €50/55 million for their highly-regarded shot-stopper.
