Manchester United are reportedly set to complete the £47 million ($62m) signing of Andre Onana from Inter Milan.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the two clubs are ‘closing in on an agreement’ – with Onana ready to fly to Manchester to complete his medical and contract signing. The Cameroonian goalkeeper will reportedly sign a five-year deal valid until 2028, with an option of a further season until 2029.
United are set to request a U.S. VISA for the 27-year-old goalkeeper so that he can take part in United’s pre-season tour, which begins later in the week.
Onana will become United’s new number one shot-stopper after David de Gea recently announced his departure from the club. The Inter ‘keeper – who impressed in the Champions League final against Manchester City – is one of Erik ten Hag’s transfer priorities.
If all goes according to plan then Onana will join his new United team-mates for friendlies against Arsenal, Wrexham, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund in the United States. Onana will likely make his Premier League debut against Wolves at Old Trafford on August 14.
