"According to the Manchester Evening News, the astonishing price tag United have slapped on Onana has just made a permanent switch to Trabzonspor impossible. It's claimed Man Utd have quoted the Turkish side a valuation of £40m-£43m. A move on that scale would place Onana in the top 10 for the most expensive goalkeepers ever, with the stopper taking up two spots on the list."
"Naturally, Trabzonspor have no intention of paying such a lofty sum for a goalkeeper who turns 30 next month, and whose reputation as a safe pair of hands was damaged during his spell in England."
"Onana was turfed out on loan to Trabzonspor ahead of the current campaign, though the deal does not contain an option or obligation to buy. Nevertheless, our insider, Graeme Bailey, has been informed Man Utd secretly hope Trabzonspor will cobble together an offer to sign Onana outright once the loan ends."
Manchester United face significant transfer activity this summer under INEOS management. Key departures include Casemiro leaving on free agency, Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund being sold for €80m combined, and Andre Onana being offloaded. Onana, who cost £47.2m from Inter Milan in 2023 but struggled at United, was loaned to Trabzonspor. United secretly hoped the Turkish club would purchase him permanently. However, United's valuation of £40m-£43m has made the deal impossible. This price would rank Onana among the ten most expensive goalkeepers ever, which Trabzonspor refuses to pay for a 30-year-old whose reputation was damaged during his English stint.
