Man Utd’s transfer deal for Andre Onana ‘will be SEALED by the end of next week’ to settle David de Gea’s future
MANCHESTER UNITED will reportedly seal a move for Inter Milan star Andre Onana by the end of next week.
The goalkeeper, 27, is the club’s top target to replace David de Gea as the No.1 at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils have been in discussions with the Serie A outfit over a price for the stopper, believed to be in the region of £43million.
Inter have already started looking at replacements with Bayern Munich‘s Yann Sommer among the targets.
And now Fabrizio Romano has reported that a deal is “really close” to being agreed between United and Inter.
He tweeted: “Manchester United are now really close to signing André Onana! Positive round of talks, final bid to arrive soon then done deal.
“Told deal will be SEALED by the end of next week.
“Personal terms agreed.
“Man United want Onana to travel for USA pre-season tour.”
Should Onana be signed by United it would likely put an end to De Gea’s time at Old Trafford once and for all.

The goalkeeper is out of contract after his previous deal ended on June 30 – a day before he got married.
That has left De Gea unemployed but United have asked him not to join another club.
Meanwhile, De Gea’s agent is set to meet with Fenerbahce to discuss a free transfer.
SunSport understand De Gea is also target for Cristiano Ronaldo’s Saudi side Al-Nassr.
