Man Utd agree £25.6million+ contract for signing – Complete satisfaction

Manchester United have confirmed the departure of David De Gea and Andre Onana seems set to replace him at Old Trafford.

Two days ago, we covered a story via Corriere dello Sport stating that the Cameroonian international has agreed on a five-year contract with the Red Devils.

Today, the famous Italian source has also revealed the details of the salary the African goalkeeper will be getting at United.

CorSport report (news image provided below) that at Inter Milan, the 27-year-old shot-stopper earned 3.5 million euros a season.

Now, Man Utd have agreed a deal that will make him earn just over 6 million euros a season. The entire worth of the five-year contract is more than £25.6million and the former Ajax man is completely satisfied.

So, Onana will be earning around £100,000 a week at United while replacing De Gea, who was the highest earner at Old Trafford and took home £375,000 a week (Sky Sports).

With the departure of the Spaniard (and Ronaldo), Ten Hag has been able to significantly cut down Man Utd’s wage bill.

On the other hand, the arrival of Onana, who is brilliant with his feet, fantastic at distribution, and has proved to be a rock-solid shot-stopper between the sticks, will largely improve the squad.

As per Corriere dello Sport, Man Utd is expected to make a new offer tomorrow or on Tuesday and it should be worth 50 million euros fixed plus add-ons.

It is claimed that such a bid would be enough to reach an agreement with Inter Milan.

Manchester United have been tipped to land two England stars for Erik ten Hag.

Manchester United have been backed to end their interest in Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana and instead turn their attention to Everton stopper Jordan Pickford as he and one of his England team-mates both could join Mason Mount at Old Trafford. The Red Devils have completed the £ 60 million signing of Mount from Chelsea and are now eyeing a David De Gea replacement.

The Spanish goalkeeper confirmed that he would be leaving United on a free transfer through a social media post on Saturday, which only further intensified speculation that would take Onana to the club. United and Inter have been in negotiations as the Italian club looks to receive over £42m for Erik ten Hag’s former Ajax goalkeeper, as the two parties are expected to reach a compromise in negotiations.

However, Liverpool icon Robbie Fowler believes that Pickford could still be considered by the United chiefs. “I see they’ve been strongly linked with Inter’s Andre Onana, and that makes sense because his distribution is sensational, and he played for Ten Hag at Ajax. But don’t rule out Jordan Pickford,” Fowler told The Mirror.

‌”I know he only signed a new contract last February, but to me that makes it more rather than less likely he’ll move this summer. I can almost guarantee, he had a release clause inserted in that contract.

“Pickford only had just over a year left when he signed the new deal, and he’s one of the best in the world, the recognized number one for one of the best international teams in the world. He’s handy on the ball too. United will have sniffed around to test how Everton is going to handle their ongoing profit and sustainability issues, so they’ll be absolutely on top of their keeper situation, no doubt, whether it’s Onana or Pickford.”

Fowler also insisted that a goalkeeper will not take the remainder of United’s summer transfer budget, as a striker will also follow. Atalanta starlet Rasmus Hojlund is firmly on United’s radar, but Fowler believes that Old Trafford would be the “obvious destination” for Harry Kane.

“I simply don’t believe, either, they will have to limit their spending this summer, so a center forward will arrive too, and I still wouldn’t rule out Harry Kane,” he added. “I believe he’ll stay in the Premier League because he wants to smash the all-time scoring record.

‌”But Spurs are absolutely miles away, so he’ll have to move, and United looks the most obvious destination. Maybe all this talk of having no money to spend is aimed at keeping any Kane fee down, as he only has a year left on his contract.”

United did hold discussions with Tottenham chief Daniel Levy over Kane this summer but have since abandoned negotiations over Spurs’ firm stance that the England captain is not for sale – even though they risk losing him for free in a year’s time.
