Man United lining up move for £6million Club World Cup keeper.
Onana’s Future in Doubt as United Plan keeper Overhaul
Manchester Utd are making big plans between the sticks. Manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly open to loaning out Andre Onana after a tough season.
Onana arrived from Inter Milan for £47m in 2023. He has struggled to impress and now finds himself on the transfer list. Although, his high wages make an direct sale tricky. So, Utd would prefer a loan move abroad. Monaco are showing interest, but even they might find his salary too heavy.
Despite his 24 clean sheets in 101 games for the Red Devils, he has also conceded 148 goals. This is leading the club to look at other options. Emi Martinez from Aston Villa is topping the wishlist. But, his price tag is huge as well.
Meanwhile, 25-year-old Diogo Costa of Porto is another hot target. He has a £64m release clause. He’s keen to play in the Premier League too. Signs are pointing toward Costa’s exit from Portugal, especially with Porto now looking for a new No.1 themselves.
Brazilian Shot-Stopper John Victor Emerges as Smart Option
United may be eyeing a more budget-friendly signing this summer. John Victor of Botafogo is a bargain at just £6m. He has done well at the FIFA Club World Cup. The Brazilian keeper has been on Utd’s radar for some time. He could fit the bill nicely, cheap, experienced, ready to step up if Onana leaves.
Amorim is looking to rebuild and reshape the Red Devils’ squad after a poor season. So, signing a reliable and economical option for keeper, would give them more financial flexibility in other spots.
If Victor joins, it could mark a smart move in Man Utd’s summer reset under their new boss. All eyes will now be on how the club makes their moves during this window.
