"Onana's transfer to Trabzonspor is nearly finalised, but it was once expected he might continue his season in the Premier League. West Ham had explored a temporary deal, likely to plug a gap between the sticks. Yet, his costly mistakes in a humiliating defeat ultimately soured the potential deal. Even though the Hammers were not the only club monitoring the situation, his Grimsby collapse made them rethink."
"The arrival of Senne Lammens at Man United from Royal Antwerp further dimmed Onana's prospects. United signaled a shift in their approach to goalkeeping priorities, favouring fresh talent and leaving Onana's future in doubt. Combined with a wage cut-on clause tied to Champions League qualification and his frustration at United, the signs pointed toward a loan move being both necessary and imminent. The Turkish move seems set to offer a lifeline."
West Ham pursued Andre Onana on loan from Manchester United but chairman David Sullivan halted the deal after Onana's high-profile errors in a Carabao Cup loss to Grimsby raised reliability concerns. Onana is now close to a move to Trabzonspor as Manchester United shift goalkeeping priorities following the arrival of Senne Lammens. A wage cut clause tied to Champions League qualification and Onana's frustration at United made a loan likely. West Ham remain short of goalkeeping options, have considered bringing back Lukasz Fabianski, and saw Mads Hermansen concede eight goals in his first two league outings.
