Manchester United have won the race for an Inter Milan star, beating Chelsea to a signature early in this transfer window.
That's according to multiple reports in Italy, which claim that the Red Devils will confirm this signing imminently. Erik ten Hag has reportedly wanted to move fast during this window – though the uncertainty involving Manchester United's ownership is complicating matters.
Ten Hag would like to bring in a top-class striker during this transfer window, while moves to sign Mason Mount are progressing, as per Fabrizio Romano. United are looking to fix the goalkeeper position, too – and appear to have made the breakthrough.
Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport have all claimed that Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana will join the 20-time English champions.
The fee is claimed to be in the region of €60 million, making the Cameroonian the third most expensive custodian of all time, behind Alisson Becker and Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Onana will reunite with Ten Hag from his Ajax days. The 27-year-old was the first-choice keeper at the Johan Cruyff Arena and has the ball-playing ability that Ten Hag has lacked in David De Gea. De Gea now looks likely to remain as the No.2 keeper at Old Trafford.
Chelsea, meanwhile, look to be selling Edouard Mendy to Saudi Arabia, with Kepa remaining at Stamford Bridge to fight for the No.1 spot.
Following Christian Eriksen, Antony and Lisandro Martinez, Onana will become the fourth former Ajax player that Ten Hag has signed in the past 12 months. Tyrell Malacia and target Mason Mount have both played in the Eredivisie, too.
Onana is valued to be worth €35m by Transfermarkt.
