CONFIRMED: Here we go as 27yr old superstar has agreed 5yr contract with Man United,player set to arrive on Monday for medical
The serie A star has agreed a five-year contract with Manchester United ahead of his anticipated transfer, Alfredo Pedulla reports.
The Red Devils are currently in advanced negotiations with the Nerazzurri for Onana, and they are likely to reach an agreement to sign him next week.
Amidst this, the 27-year-old has finalised personal terms over a five-year deal. He will earn a basic annual salary of €6.5 million which equates to €125,000 per week.
Onana set to succeed David de Gea as United’s number one
Earlier today, David de Gea officially confirmed his departure from United after 12 fantastic seasons.
The Spaniard played a huge role in United’s success in this time. He helped the club win several games with his excellent reflexes between the sticks.
Unfortunately, he is not a modern goalkeeper. United manager Erik ten Hag wants much more than just shot-stopping. It is the right time for a change.
Onana should provide a big upgrade in the Red Devils goal next term. He is one of the best ball-playing goalkeepers in world football at the moment.
Last season, he kept 19 clean sheets for Inter from 41 games, but also completed 78 per cent of his passes with an average of over six long balls.
The former Cameroon international was effective in intercepting crosses by coming off his line, and also impressed with his sweeper-keeper duties.
In our view, he is the perfect goalkeeper for Ten Hag. He may not require any time to adapt, having played under the Dutchman at Ajax for over four years.
