Man Utd have 'decided to pay' €50m plus bonuses for Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana
Man United have made the goalkeeper position one of the priorities amid uncertainty surrounding the future of current No.1 David de Gea.
As per the Athletic, the Old Trafford club have since changed its mind on the wage and contract length and informed De Gea the offer is no longer relevant.
And on Wednesday Gazzetta dello Sport claimed United’s director of football operations met with Inter sporting director Piero Ausilo in Ibiza and ‘agreed on the timing’ for Onana’s potential move.
Ausilo had reportedly been in England to hold talks with the United over a deal for the goalkeeper prior to the Ibiza visit.
After the meetings, it was allegedly established that United were likely to make an official bid for Onana this weekend, once De Gea’s contract has expired.
However, the publication warned that Inter may not accept United’s latest proposal, especially if it falls short of the Serie A side’s €60million (£51million) valuation.
Gazzetta dello Sport has claimed that Ausilo will have a new meeting with Onana’s agent in Ibiza this week, where they will, ‘in principle define’, the player’s fate.
The newspaper adds United have ‘decided to pay’ the €50million plus the add-ons requested by Inter for Onana.
