Man Utd's Onana likely transferring to Saudi Arabia

thesun.co.uk

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana is likely to transfer to Saudi Arabia this summer. This move comes as Ruben Amorim, the United manager, looks for replacements. Pep Guardiola, Manchester City's manager, is also searching for a new goalkeeper, making this a competitive situation for both teams. Both Onana and City’s Ederson could leave for the Middle East at the end of the season. This has led both clubs to explore potential replacements. Among the top targets are two young goalkeepers: Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp and Lucas Chevalier from Lille. Lammens, 22, has impressed many and is valued at around £30 million. He recently joined Belgium's national team despite having fewer than 50 first-team matches. His skills in distributing the ball make him a good fit for Guardiola's style. Chevalier, who is 23, has been on United's and City’s radar for months. He is under contract until 2027, but Lille may sell him for about £40 million. Ederson, who is 31, has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia for a while. City will let him leave if he chooses to go after eight years with the club. If Ederson departs, Stefan Ortega, who is 32, might finally have a chance to become the first-choice keeper. However, Ortega is also weighing his options since he recently made the national squad and wants consistent playing time. While City had planned to find a new goalkeeper this summer, United's need arose due to Onana's recent mistakes. Their interest from Saudi Arabia might push Amorim to prioritize finding a new keeper quickly.
