André Onana to Join Manchester United for €52.5m, Becoming Fourth Most Expensive Goalkeeper in History
Manchester United have reached an agreement with Inter Milan to sign Cameroonian goalkeeper André Onana for a fee of €52.5m. The transfer will make Onana the fourth most expensive goalkeeper in football history, behind Kepa Arrizabalaga (€80m), Alisson Becker (€62.5m), and Gianluigi Buffon (€52.5m).
Onana is a highly rated goalkeeper who has been capped 26 times by Cameroon. He has been with Inter Milan since 2022, but he was banned for 12 months by UEFA in 2021 for failing a doping test. He has since served his ban and is now eligible to play again.
Onana's arrival at Old Trafford is a major coup for Manchester United. The club have been looking for a new goalkeeper for some time, and Onana is seen as a long-term replacement for David de Gea.
Onana is a tall and athletic goalkeeper with good reflexes and shot-stopping ability. He is also good with his feet and is comfortable playing out from the back.
Onana's arrival is a sign of Manchester United's ambition. The club are looking to challenge for the Premier League title and the Champions League, and Onana is seen as a key player in their plans.
The transfer is also a major boost for Cameroonian football. Onana is one of the best goalkeepers in Africa, and his move to Manchester United will help to raise the profile of Cameroonian football.
