Inter Milan are negotiating a deal to sell Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana to Manchester United.
Manchester United are closing in on a deal to sign Andre Onana, with talks ongoing with Inter Milan over a deal.
Onana was a key part of the Inter side which reached the Champions League final last season, and previously worked under Erik ten Hag at Ajax.
And while Ten Hag would be delighted to reunite with the goalkeeper, Inter’s situation is a little more complex.

Simone Inzaghi view on Andre Onana sale
Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport report Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi is ‘not happy’ at selling Andre Onana to Manchester United.
He would have preferred for Onana to stay, however, he also accepts the financial reasons which have led Inter to pursue a sale.
Inter signed Onana on a free transfer and this is a chance to make a substantial profit, with a transfer fee of £42 million quoted.
The sale of Onana will ‘unlock’ the purchase of striker Romelu Lukaku, by freeing up funds to sign the Chelsea striker, with the Blues unwilling t sanction another loan.
Inter are already looking at replacements, with possible names including Giorgi Mamardashvili, Keylor Navas, Hugo Lloris, and Yann Sommer.
Inter are keen to get the deal concluded, in order to start moving forward, preferring negotiations to be concluded by the end of the month.
