Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi has revealed Andre Onana has been called up for pre-season camp from Thursday amid interest from Manchester United. He left the door open for an exit, but believes nothing has been agreed between the two clubs.
Manchester United have been pushing to sign Onana this summer and have stepped up their efforts following the exit of David De Gea. The Red Devils’ bid for the goalkeeper was rejected and Fabrizio Romano claimed it was €45m.
Inter Milan reportedly want €60m to sell the Cameroonian star, who signed him on a free transfer from Ajax. Inzaghi has now called the goalkeeper to pre-season camp, telling the media (via Sky Italia):
“Onana to Man United? He’s an Inter player today and he’s called up for pre-season camp tomorrow. The market is unpredictable. We know Italian clubs need to sell before they sign new players… That’s the reality.”
Earlier this month, Inter Milan chief executive Pepe Marotta confirmed that the Red Devils were interested in Onana, and he was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail:
“Manchester United have shown particular interest, but this needs to thrive to make a proposal over the next few days. Once that happens, both Inter and the player will make a careful assessment.”
Manchester United backed the signing of Andre Onana by Louis Saha
Former Everton striker Louis Saha has backed Manchester United to sign Andre Onana this summer from Inter Milan. He believes the Cameroon goalkeeper will need some time to adapt to the new league.
Speaking to Betfried, Saha claimed that Onana was the perfect bodyguard for Erik ten Hag. He believes the pair’s contact from their Ajax days will make things better for the Red Devils.
“I think so. He’s a top goalkeeper who’s eager to get better at 27, so he’s got a lot of experience, but he’s not old at all for a goalkeeper. The manager is looking to play from behind and see how he can disrupt the opposition. I think Onana He will be very important for Manchester United.”
he added:
“It takes time for players to acclimate to a new league, but I’m sure he’ll be a perfect fit because he was able to play in a very organized Inter Milan side and he was still able to revolutionize the team with his attacking-mindedness, so I have no doubt that he He will do the same at Manchester United.”
The Red Devils played Tom Heaton in goal in a pre-season friendly against Leeds United. David De Gea has left the club, while Dean Henderson is pushing for a permanent move to Nottingham Forest.
