Manchester United set asking price for Andre Onana
Manchester United have set an asking price for unwanted keeper Andre Onana, with the hope that the Cameroonian finds a new suitor.
According to Caught Offside, Andre Onana is up for sale at Manchester United and available for £20 million in this window. Ruben Amorim wants a new stopper in place for the new season, although one might suspect the Onana departure would be needed to bring in a new No.1.
Manchester United are stepping up their efforts to land a new keeper in this window, as Ruben Amorim seems intent on having a new No.1 for the season ahead. There’s no clarity on when they might bring in the goalkeeper, as any incoming in the position might depend on Andre Onana’s departure.
Onana has been deemed a first-team flop, and despite reports that Amorim probably might keep him, the keeper is certainly out of the club’s thinking. Some reports even stated the Red Devils were prepared to send him out on loan following links to Botafogo’s John Victor, but the links to the Brazilian have gone cold since.
Manchester United have earmarked several options, with Amorim open to adding Emiliano Martinez to his ranks. There are links to Belgian star Senne Lammens, while PSG’s Gianluigi Donnarumma and FC Porto’s Diogo Costa are also being mentioned as potential targets.
Any new incoming will depend on Onana’s departure, with Manchester United now making plans to find a suitor for the first-team flop. A recent injury has kept Onana out of Amorim’s pre-season plans, but the issue is not as severe as reported earlier.
Manchester United want £20 million for Andre Onana
Manchester United are demanding £20 million for the sale of Onana, and should they get suitors to pay as much, it will represent a significant loss on their investment in the first team flop. Realistically, the injury might have influenced the lack of interest in the keeper, which the Red Devils will hope changes in the coming weeks.
If the club plans to bring in a new keeper only after Onana leaves, then some doubts might creep in about who starts the first few games of the season. However, if a suitor comes in with the £20 million that Manchester United want, then the club could accelerate their pursuit of a replacement.
