Manchester United have made contact with Andre Onana over a move to Old Trafford, but Inter Milan’s asking price is a problem as they try to stay within their summer transfer budget.
There remains some confusion over the goalkeeper position at Old Trafford, with David De Gea’s contract expiring on Friday and his future unclear.
A deal for the Spaniard to stay on had been agreed but United pulled out and offered lower terms, with talks ongoing and the possibility that De Gea could still sign a new deal.
Meanwhile, The Times report that the Red Devils have made contact with Onana over a move, with Inter Milan setting the asking price for the Cameroon goalkeeper at around £52m.
The report states that United only have around £100m to spend on players this summer, which makes this price a hefty one, seen as they need to sign a first choice striker as well, among other reinforcements.
However, that £100m budget can be boosted by the sales of players, with the likes of Harry Maguire, Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial all thought to be available for transfer.
United legend Rio Ferdinand commented on the situation with De Gea, unhappy with how the club have treated a player who has been there for 12 years and made over 500 appearances.
He feels that the Spaniard is now likely to leave and will only stay if United try and fail to sign Onana from Inter.
