🤑 Transfer gossip: Man Utd's GK search over? Busy Arsenal; Pogba offer | OneFootball

Welcome to Friday’s round-up of all the latest news and rumours.

Transfer story of the day 📰

Are we finally getting closer to Manchester United resolving their goalkeeping saga?

Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport believe so, claiming that an agreement will be reached today with Inter to sign goalkeeper André Onana.

They have already had an offer of €45m plus bonuses rejected but personal terms have already been agreed with the former Ajax man’s camp on a five-year deal.

It is now expected that the magic number to bring him to Old Trafford is €50m plus an additional €5m in bonuses.

In addition, the Guardian also claim that it is ‘increasingly unlikely’ that David de Gea will return to Old Trafford to provide competition for Onana.

In addition, the story goes on to state that if the Frenchman does depart, they will go all in on replacing him with Sergej Milinković-Savić, who remains of interest regardless.

The Evening Standard report that Marc Cucurella has dismissed the notion of leaving Chelsea this summer and is determined to impress new boss Mauricio Pochettino.

In L’Equipe on Friday, it is reported that despite public pressure from PSG this week to sign an extension or leave this summer, Kylian Mbappé has indicated that he is determined to see out his contract and leave next summer.

Sky in Germany claim that Bayern Munich will hold discussions with goalkeeper Yann Sommer about his future when he returns from his summer break, as he is attracting interest from Inter as an Onana replacement and his status in Bavaria is uncertain due to Manuel Neuer’s imminent return from injury.

There are growing suggestions from several outlets across Italy that Dušan Vlahović is likelier to leave Juventus than stay this summer, with interest from England, Germany and France.

From the horse’s mouth 🐴

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl has suggested that while his side are interested in Edson Álvarez of Ajax, they are yet to make their move.

“Álvarez is an interesting player,” he acknowledged when speaking to reporters on Friday. “But there hasn’t been a single round of negotiations that have taken place between ourselves and Ajax.”
