On Monday, we relayed news from Italy that Erik ten Hag has assured Inter Milan’s André Onana that Manchester United will do everything to sign him in this window. Later that day, Calciomercato.it reported Al Nassr have also made an approach for the goalkeeper.
Today’s Gazzetta dello Sport states neither the Serie A side or the 27-year-old’s entourage have received an offer from Al Nassr.
Inter CEO Giuseppe Marotta and sporting director Piero Ausilio are both ‘waiting for the first official offer’ from Manchester United.
The report states ‘today could be the right day’, considering the Red Devils have now closed a deal for Mason Mount.
It’s claimed Manchester United don’t want to go beyond €40-45m while the Nerazzurri are keen to close the deal for €50m plus bonuses. Despite the difference, the report says the operation can be concluded due to the willingness of all parties to find an agreement.
Meanwhile, Alfredo Pedullà says Manchester United’s ‘first offer has arrived’ at Inter, which consists of €40m plus €5m bonuses. This hasn’t pleased Simone Inzaghi’s side, who want €50m fixed fee plus easily achievable bonuses to take the deal close to €60m.
It’s stated the contacts will continue between the two clubs and Manchester United could make another offer.
Inter haven’t set a deadline but the report adds the ‘tendency is to not wait beyond July 20th’.
