Manchester United could have a new goalkeeper very soon after a breakthrough in negotiations to sign Andre Onana from Inter Milan.
Talks took a major step forward on Thursday night, with a verbal agreement reached with the 27-year-old goalkeeper and the two clubs closing in on a deal for a fee of around £40million. United are still in talks with Feyenoord keeper Justin Bijlow, 25, in case there are any last-gasp hitches with Onana.
Conversations had begun with the Dutchman when United feared Inter’s demands over Onana would not match their own valuation. But a deal for the Cameroon international is now very close with United, and the keeper is understood to be thrashing out the finer details of his contract.
