Manchester United is prepared to accept a significant financial loss as they explore the possibility of signing Trabzonspor goalkeeper Andre Onana on a permanent basis. This summer, United's transfer activity has been disappointing, failing to address key issues in both defense and attack, as well as struggling to offload unwanted players such as Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee.
The club had hoped to sell either Onana or Altay Bayindir, but both situations resulted in loan deals instead. Trabzonspor, who currently have Onana on loan until the end of the season, are keen to make the 30-year-old's stay permanent and have secured the backing of Trabzonspor president Ertuğrul Doğan for this pursuit. Despite having two clean sheets in six league appearances, Onana's contract with United runs until 2028.
United has reportedly set an asking price of €10 million (£8.5 million) for the goalkeeper, but Trabzonspor believe this is too high. They would prefer to negotiate a lower fee and salary – which is reportedly around €5.5 million per year plus bonuses – and a five-year contract extension for Onana. The club's management are expected to meet with both Onana's representatives and United "as soon as possible" to finalize a deal.
