JAKARTA - Manchester United can save big if they succeed in bringing in Andrea Onana from Inter Milan. MU reportedly almost agreed to personal terms with Onana.
The manager, Erik ten Hag, wants the 27-year-old player to be signed before they go on a pre-season tour in the United States, later this month.
The Red Devils have made an initial bid of an estimated £35.8 million for the Cameroon international. However, that price is below Inter's valuation.
Progress has been made between the two clubs over the weekend and there is confidence that a deal could be done soon.
Further talks are expected to take place this week and there is optimism that a deal will be reached sooner than expected.
The former Barcelona academy player is expected to agree a five-year contract. His salary is estimated at more than 100 thousand pounds per week.
This could be a big saving because the previous main goalkeeper, David De Gea's salary was £ 375 thousand per week.
As is known, the Spanish goalkeeper announced his departure from Manchester United at the weekend. He ended his career at Old Trafford after 12 years in charge and making more than 500 appearances.
Onana, who made 145 appearances under Ten Hag during their time at Ajax, confirmed he is keen to be reunited with the Dutchman at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag was keen to add a goalkeeper who was far more perfect with the ball at their feet and Onana would fit right in.
Onana is much more confident and has also played with MU defender, Lisandro Martinez, while still in an Ajax uniform.
The goalkeeper helped Inter win the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italia last season as well as reach the Champions League final in Istanbul.
