Inter Milan is anticipating an official bid from Manchester United for goalkeeper Andre Onana. United has estimated the player’s worth and thinks Inter’s asking price could be excessive. United continues to consider budget-friendly alternatives as a result. Onana, who assisted Inter in reaching the Champions League final, is still of interest to manager Erik ten Hag. United is restarting contract negotiations with David De Gea in the goalkeeping position. De Gea’s contract ended on Friday, June 30 at midnight, but the 32-year-old is currently spending time with his family in Spain. When the time is right, United will resume in-person negotiations with the Spaniard. Even if negotiations with De Gea fail, United has a wide range of goalkeeping alternatives for the next campaign with Dean Henderson’s return from his loan at Nottingham Forest.
Regarding the goalkeeping issue, David De Gea’s contract has expired, but the club has scheduled talks with him for when he returns from vacation. After speaking with a number of potential targets, United is crunching the statistics to see how to effectively use its resources while attracting the correct profile. Do they spend much on a new No. 1 or a forward? Is doing both possible? De Gea’s situation will have a significant impact.
Andre Onana is a prized asset for Manchester United, and Ten Hag in particular, and Inter Milan’s CEO Beppe Marotta said that Ten Hag is anticipating an offer from United this week. Onana is wanted by Inter for about £43 million plus add-ons. After conducting due diligence on David Raya and Diogo Costa, United also checked out Feyenoord custodian Justin Bijlow. The club may decide to concentrate on that position next season and spend heavily on a forward, or De Gea staying may give a new long-term No. 1 time to settle and acclimatize without undue strain. All possibilities are reportedly on the table and in consideration, but United is conscious that FFP restrictions require them to box shrewdly and intelligently.
