Transfer Buzz: Manchester United on Verge of Securing Inter Milan's Andre Onana as New Goalkeeper

Manchester United are making progress towards finalizing a deal for Andre Onana, the goalkeeper from Inter Milan, following further negotiations between the two clubs. Sources have informed We News that discussions regarding a potential compromise on the transfer fee have been quite promising. Initially, Inter Milan had remained firm on their asking price of £51m (€60m), but now they seem more open to finding common ground.

There is a consensus among all parties involved that personal terms will not pose any issue, and they continue to express a willingness to finalize the transfer. United's initial offer of £38.5m (€45m) has been turned down. Individuals with knowledge of the matter, who are in close proximity to the player, are of the opinion that there is a shared determination to reach a resolution prior to Onana's participation in Inter's pre-season, starting on July 13th.

Onana has expressed his desire to join Old Trafford and be reunited with his former Ajax manager, Erik ten Hag, who is actively pushing for the transfer of the 27-year-old.

Furthermore, Manchester United is actively pursuing the signing of Japanese goalkeeper, Zion Suzuki, from Urawa Red Diamonds as a potential replacement for David De Gea. De Gea has been unable to reach an agreement on a new contract and has announced his departure from the club.

Maguire set for talks with Ten Hag

Maguire, who is currently 30 years old, made a move to United in 2019 for a staggering fee of £80m, setting a new world record for a defender. However, he only managed to start 16 matches in the previous season. With two years remaining on his contract, Maguire's future position within the team will be deliberated upon.

Manchester United continue to explore potential departures and are actively searching for reinforcements in certain positions. If there are indeed players leaving, the club is planning to enter the market to fill those positions. Fiorentina's Sofyan Amrabat is among the midfielders that United are still assessing.

United remain in talks with Atalanta over Hojlund

A gap in valuation still exists but United remain hopeful a deal can be struck, with Hojlund's camp giving positive signs the player wants to go to Old Trafford.

United is also considering the idea of including Amad Diallo in the deal, potentially through a loan agreement. However, it is believed that Ten Hag would like to assess him during the pre-season before making any final decisions.

Diallo, who arrived at United from Atalanta in 2021, had a loan spell at Sunderland last season where he played a crucial role in guiding them to the Sky Bet Championship play-offs.
