Inter Milan eye Ukrainian keeper Anatoliy Trubin as Andre Onana replacement | OneFootball

Inter Milan have identified Shakhtar Donetsk goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin as a potential replacement for Andre Onana (Italian transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio).

The Nerazzurri see Onana, who arrived on a free transfer from Ajax last year, as a bankable asset who can help them raise funds for new signings.

Premier League giants Manchester United are the front-runners for the Cameroonian shot-stopper, and they are in talks with Inter to get the deal over the line.

The Red Devils had reportedly offered €40 million for Onana, who has been lined up as the top replacement for David de Gea, but the Nerazzurri are holding out for no less than €50m plus bonuses.

Trubin has emerged as a potential target for the Champions League finalists in the event of Onana’s departure.

The Ukrainian shot-stopper helped Shakhtar win the 2022/23 league title, achieving league-high 14 clean sheets.

The 21-year-old has made 94 appearances for Shakhtar and also regularly featured in the Champions League, facing the likes of Real Madrid, Borussia Monchengladbach and Inter.

Trubin played against Inter in the 2020/21 Champions League, where he kept two clean sheets in both legs of the group stage, eventually preventing the Italians from qualifying for the next round.

The seven-capped Ukrainian shot-stopper has a contract until 2024 and is not interested in extending it with Shakhtar.

Inter can easily afford Trubin with the sale of Onana, but the Ukrainian youngster has also courted interest from Benfica.

Fellow Serie A outfit Udinese have also had a €6m bid turned down by Shakhtar for Trubin.

Inter have also shortlisted Valencia’s Giorgi Mamardashvili, Bayern Munich’s Yann Sommer and PSG’s Keylor Navas as other potential goalkeeper targets.
