Manchester United nears completion of Blockbuster Transfer as striker target slips Away but Onana on the List.
With a friendly match against Leeds United scheduled in Norway and a trip to the United States, manager Erik ten Hag aims to have his squad in impeccable condition for the start of the Premier League in August.
Ten Hag is also keen on bolstering the team’s ranks with new signings, particularly in the goalkeeping and striking departments, to complement the recent addition of Mason Mount.
Here, we present the latest transfer news and rumors surrounding the iconic Old Trafford club.
The Onana Pursuit for Manchester United
Manchester United appears to be edging closer to securing the signature of Inter Milan’s goalkeeper Andre Onana.
Now that David De Gea has officially departed, the Red Devils can focus on acquiring a replacement, and all indications point to their preference for Onana from Inter.
Moreover, reports on the deal’s progress vary, with some suggesting Inter is unwilling to reduce its £51 million asking price.
However, journalist Chris Wheeler of the Daily Mail tweeted,
“Sources close to Andre Onana say a deal to take the Inter Milan goalkeeper to Man Utd is in its final stage.”
United had shown interest in Brazilian prodigy Vitor Roque for the summer transfer window.
Unfortunately for the Manchester side, Barcelona seems to have beaten them to the punch.
What was Andre Cury’s opinion?
Roque’s agent, Andre Cury, revealed to Globo Esporte:
“Every negotiation is complicated, especially for a player of this caliber. There were other interested parties. But Vitor always had his head turned to Barcelona. He wanted to follow in the footsteps of Brazilian legends like Rivaldo, Romario, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, and Neymar, who all thrived at the club.”
However, as Manchester United intensifies their pre-season preparations, fans eagerly await further updates on potential new arrivals to strengthen the squad.
