After news emerged that Manchester United made their first offer to sign André Onana from Inter Milan, everything stagnated a bit.
However, Calciomercato.it in Italy bring a bit of hope for fans of the Red Devils on the same day the Mason Mount deal has been announced.
Their stance is that the first offer from Manchester United hasn’t arrived yet, but the ‘long courtship’ from Erik ten Hag to bring the footballer to Old Trafford will become a ‘written proposal in the next few hours’.
This comes after ‘the last telephone conversations’ between Inter Milan and the Premier League side, which took place on Wednesday morning.
Despite the arrival of a €45m offer expected, it’s made clear that ‘another economic effort’ from Manchester United ‘will be needed’, as the Serie A side’s stance has always been clear that they want €60m from a deal for the goalkeeper, even if that figure is reached through bonuses.
Therefore, there is still ‘work in progress’ between the two sides, and the fact Onana has a ‘great relationship’ with Ten Hag means he is ‘open to a transfer’ to the red side of Manchester, even if he also wouldn’t throw a strop were he to stay where he currently is.
