MANCHESTER UNITED are set to seal the £43million signing of Andre Onana “next week” following talks with his agent.
The goalkeeper will reportedly sign from Inter Milan and is seen as a replacement for David de Gea.
De Gea is currently set to leave the club once his contract expires at the end of the month.
United have offered him a new deal, but with a reduced salary, and hope to clarify his future this week.
Dean Henderson is also expected to depart the club this summer, intensifying the need to recruit a new goalkeeper.
That new stopper now looks set to be Onana, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, who report the deal has progressed following talks on Friday.
