Inter CEO Marotta confirms Man Utd interest in Onana
Inter CEO Beppe Marotta has confirmed Manchester United's interest in goalkeeper Andre Onana, but the Italians are yet to receive a formal offer.
Marotta further stated that if the Red Devils make a formal offer for Onana in the coming days, both the club and the player will evaluate it carefully.
Inter CEO Marotta: "Manchester United should submit an official bid for André Onana in some days; then we will tell them our position and the player will do the same". 🔴 #MUFC

Speaking at the Gran Gala in Rimini, Marotta said: "Manchester United have expressed an interest (in Onana) which may or may not lead to an offer in the next few days. Once that happens, both Inter and the player will carefully assess it."
According to Alfredo Pedulla, the Premier League giants are preparing an offer of €45 million (£38.5m/$49m) plus bonuses for the Cameroonian custodian. Inter, though, want €50m (£43m/$54.5m) as a base price along with add-ons. Once the offer comes to Inter, they will engage in negotiations with the Red Devils.
With David de Gea yet to sign a new deal, United will be keen on sealing the deal for Onana this summer to bolster the goalkeeping department.
