Inter Milan manager asked to explain Andre Onana’s situation as Manchester United hover to sign him

André Onana’s transfer from Inter Milan to Manchester United may look close to happening, but the Serie A side won’t yet admit it.

Nerazzurri manager Simone Inzaghi held a press conference on Wednesday with the Italian media, and among the many questions about the transfer market, there was obviously one about the future of the goalkeeper.

Despite the strong reports saying Onana is about to leave for Manchester United, the coach insists that the 27-year-old remains an Inter Milan player, regardless of what will happen in the summer window. The quotes are from Corriere Dello Sport.

“He’s currently an Inter player who will be in the squad, then we know that the transfer market is unpredictable. There are 50 days left until the end of the market, we know that there will still be a lot of change, from now to the end we know that there is hope,” said Simone Inzaghi.

It’s been days since the Italian media started claiming that Manchester United and Inter Milan are very close to finding a deal with Onana. On Wednesday morning, we saw journalist Rudy Galetti claiming there’s already a verbal agreement between the clubs, with the Red Devils set to pay £42m up front plus £5m in bonuses.

The final contacts are expected to take place in the coming days, with the goalkeeper being more than ready to complete the move to Old Trafford.
