Trabzonspor President Ertugrul Dogan has revealed that they are talking Manchester United Goalkeeper Andre Onana every day, and see no problem in signing him permanently this summer.
Futbol Arena relayed comments from Dogan today In which he has shared his confidence in signing the goalkeeper on a permanent basis.
trabzonspor confidence
Andre Onana has spent the season on loan with the Turkish team after it became clear that he was not part of Manchester United's plans going forward.
Sane Lammens' success this season has further cemented that position by establishing himself as the number one at Old Trafford.
The Cameroon goalkeeper is not in the long-term plans and needs a move this summer. Trabzonspor are happy to have him again, his loan has proven successful.
The 30-year-old has been a regular for them this season, making 33 appearances in all competitions, keeping six clean sheets and conceding 40 goals.
Various reports from Turkey have made it clear that they are keen on a permanent move this summer. Dogan has now shared his confidence on that front and stressed that he is in daily discussions with Onana.
“We talk to Onana every day,” he said.
"We will not have any financial difficulties. We will make the necessary sacrifices. I do not think we will experience any setbacks. But if we do, we will find another goalkeeper of the same quality."
Manchester United's stance
The question is how much Manchester United want Andre Onana this summer. They paid €50.23m in 2023 but got very little return on that investment.
The goalkeeper is now valued at €10m, so they would suffer a significant loss from the goalkeeper either way. And it would not be a surprise for Trabzonspor to ask for a discount on that figure in negotiations.
If Manchester United are keen to move the goalkeeper, particularly to get him off the wage bill, it could be a case of taking him on the chin.
