Let’s go – Man United are set to achieve their main transfer target today as the agent is now spotted with a player at Old Trafford
Manchester United and Inter Milan will soon announce the transfer of Cameroonian international Andre Onana.
According to today’s version of La Gazzetta Dello Sport (news image below), Onana’s move to Man Utd is ‘now a fact’.
The Italian news source mentioned that the announcement of a sale worth over 50m euros (over £42.8m) will come ‘today or tomorrow at the latest’ .
Knowing that the Nerazzurri would receive their goalkeeper’s transfer money, the Serie A giants decided decisively to agree a transfer fee for Lukaku with Chelsea.
Inter Milan have offered a €35m package and a €5m bonus to seal the deal with the Blues for the former Manchester United centre-forward. According to Alfredo Pedulla, Onana will clear his lockers to prepare for his new adventure at Old Trafford led by Erik ten Hag.
The 27-year-old has won all the major domestic trophies in the Netherlands under current Man Utd manager and proved an instant success in Italy last season.
David De Gea was a loyal servant to the Red Devils, but he was past the best of him and a replacement was needed. Ten Hag deserves credit for this bold move to get their hands on a new bullet cap.
Old Trafford supporters await an official announcement for the signing of Andre Onana. Hope it counts

Inter boss Piero Ausilio has reportedly traveled to London to negotiate with Manchester United, who reportedly made a £47million bid for Andre Onana at the weekend.
According to Calciomercato, the Italians hope to be able to bear around £51m but are optimistic a deal can be done quickly. Both sides are hoping for a deal soon, with Inter keen to receive funds which could be used to buy Romelu Lukaku.
Ausilio is set to meet with Chelsea over the striker after shaking hands with United, who are on the line after David de Gea left for a goalkeeper. According to the report, Onana was Erik ten Hag’s first choice as a goalkeeper as he previously worked with him at Ajax.
It is understood that a deal for 27-year-old Champions League finalist Onana could last for up to five years and a £5m salary.

Meanwhile, The Athletic claims United have offered the players a partial swap deal for Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund. The striker has already held talks with Ten Hag as he considers alternatives to prime target Harry Kane. United will sack a number of players this summer, including Harry Maguire, Eric Bailly and Alex Telles. However, Atalanta only want a cash return for Hojlund and apparently had no interest in the stars offered by United.
The Reds have a budget of up to £120m this summer, of which £55m has gone to Mason Mount. Exits are likely to boost purchases by new entrants due to financial fair play concerns.
Atalanta are said to have placed an £85.5million price tag on Hojlund and have rejected any loan offers of the player from United.

Manchester United can repeat Zidane Iqal transfer trick to improve Erik Tenag’s prognosis
Man United urgently need to step up their efforts to fire players this summer to generate much-needed transfer funds.
When it comes to the art of selling players at the right time, Manchester United still have a lot to learn.
The Reds, who begin their pre-season when they take on Leeds United in Oslo this afternoon, have a poor record when it comes to the challenge of changing players. United aren’t a big seller, and that’s reflected in their failure to break through in recent years.
However, under Erik Tenerife there are indications that things are starting to change, albeit very slowly. United have already paid transfer fees for two players this summer, allowing two players EtҺan Laird and Zidane IqƄal to leave on permanent contracts.
Laird moved to Armingam City, sold for an initial £750,000 fee, while IqƄal joined FC Utrecht for just £1million. None of these fees will do anything to boost Tenhag’s chances of scoring the goals he wants to add to his squad, but they do encourage United’s strategy to start changing forever.
In terms of further expected departures this summer, United must look to rid themselves of some of the fringe players lurking the side, such as Eric Ƅailly, Alex Telles, Randon Williams and Donny van de Ƅeek, all with no future at Old Trafford to shake. . But in the case of Ƅailly, Telles and Van de Ƅeek, United know all too well they will be forced to accept huge losses on the fees paid to sign them. When it comes to the club’s young players, particularly those who left the academy and made it to the first team narrowly, United have the potential to make money, although by and large the fees involved are small. of change. Laird and Iqal were unlikely to interfere with Ten Ag’s plans, meaning it made sense for United to contract them out under deals that included sell clauses.
If they impress at their new clubs, compete and start to attract attention, United could expect a big cash injection or two down the road. And they can repeat the trick with the annual MejƄri.
The Tunisian, who joined United from AS Monaco in August 2019, has just returned to the Under-16s after a one-year loan spell at Munich last season. The midfielder produced a string of top-class performances at St Andrew’s, making 41 appearances in all competitions and scoring one goal.
Although this display was not as bright and eye-catching as Amad’s at Sunderland, it was positive enough to attract the attention of German club Russia Dortmund, who are keen to sign the 20-year-old. As Manchester Evening News reported last month, the second division outfit are ready to pay a transfer fee of around €15m, which also includes performance-related surcharges.
At first glance, the prospect of inheriting around £12.8m for a player who played for the Champions last season seems like a business option. AnniƄal, who has already earned less than 20 caps for Tunisia, is unlikely to enter Ten Ag’s first-team plans ahead of the upcoming season, especially as United are so well-equipped in the room. machines. Were he considered good enough to make his mark at United, he would probably have made three more appearances by this point. IqƄal was arguably United’s brightest star on last summer’s pre-season tour, not making an appearance all season meaning anniƄal will face an uphill battle to get senior minutes at Old Trafford.
Ten Һag’s decision to allow IqƄal an unexpected permanent departure was proof that he only wants and offers opportunities to those who are good enough. There is the possibility of a pre-season finish, but it is very unlikely that he will move up the ladder quick enough to become a first-team regular. With United desperately needing the cash, it would make sense for all parties to raise money and move forward.
