On Wednesday, we covered claims made in Italy that Manchester United are set to make an offer for Inter Milan goalkeeper André Onana.
Gazzetta dello Sport state the Red Devils’ proposal of €45m including bonuses arrived at the Serie A side yesterday and didn’t satisfy the San Siro club.
Erik ten Hag has already held talks with the 27-year-old over the phone and explained how he would fit into his plans at Manchester United.
With the manager keen, the report states an ‘important’ attempt from the Premier League side is expected ‘today, or at the latest tomorrow’.
Gazzetta say Manchester United have ‘decided to raise the offer’ to sign Onana. It’s even stated they want to take the ‘decisive step’ and submit a proposal in the region of €50m. This offer, which may or may not include bonuses, could be tabled today.
Even though Inter want €60m, the newspaper says the difference in valuation is narrowing and there’s a possibility the deal could be closed soon since the two clubs are in a ‘hurry’.
The Dutchman wants the stopper for the pre-season tour that starts on July 20th and the Nerazzurri want to use the funds from his sale to make new signings in this window.
With Manchester United set to make an improved offer soon and all parties wanting the deal to go through, Gazzetta state the ongoing saga around Onana ‘seems really close to ending’.
