Manchester United Still Trying to Keep David De Gea, Andrea Onana's Transfer Process Continues?

JAKARTA - Inter Milan is still waiting for a formal offer from Manchester United for the transfer of Andrea Onana. However, the English Premier League club made a surprising announcement.

MU announced they are still in 'discussions' to retain David De Gea. However, it is believed that Onana's transfer process will continue.

De Gea's contract with the Red Devils ended on June 30. However, there has been no agreement between club management and De Gea regarding a new contract.

"Meanwhile, David De Gea's contract is expiring, but discussions remain open with the long-serving goalkeeper," United said in a statement.

The goalkeeper has been at Old Trafford for 12 years and appears to have agreed a new contract on a reduced salary. However, even that may not be enough to convince manager Erik ten Hag that De Gea deserves to stay.

His position is sure to have an effect on Manchester United's bid to sign Onana from Inter, as Sky Sport Italia and Sportitalia report that they expect a formal offer to come in tonight.

Inter's asking price is 50 million euros (around IDR 821 billion), plus several additions of up to 10 million euros (equivalent to IDR 164 billion).

It was a pure boon, as Inter signed Onana for free from Ajax Amsterdam a year ago.
