Manchester United have accepted a season-long loan proposal from Trabzonspor for goalkeeper Andr\u00e9 Onana, with the move subject to the player’s approval, according to The Athletic.<\/p>\n
United’s decision follows changes in their goalkeeping hierarchy. Altay Bay\u0131nd\u0131r has been the preferred starter but faces a potential demotion after the summer signing of Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp. With Onana possibly slipping to third choice under Amorim, the club have agreed to the Turkish side’s loan approach.<\/p>\n
The terms agreed between the clubs are straightforward. United will send Onana to T\u00fcrkiye without a loan fee, and Trabzonspor would not have any purchase clause to make the move permanent next summer. The Red Devils are understood to be seeking relief of Onana’s salary, while a season-long loan would allow the goalkeeper to retain as much of his transfer value as possible ahead of a potential departure in the summer of 2026.<\/p>\n
Onana, 29, is reported to be open to the transfer and is awaiting discussions on the exact terms. Privately, he is believed to have backed himself to reclaim United\u2019s starting spot even after the arrival of Lammens, but an awareness of the competition he faces has seen the Cameroon international \u201cgive serious thought\u201d to joining Trabzonspor.<\/p>\n
The timing is important. The Turkish transfer window remains open until September 12, yet Trabzonspor want to conclude the deal promptly so they can nominate Onana in their starting lineup for the fixture scheduled two days after the window closes. United’s acceptance of the bid leaves the final decision in the hands of the goalkeeper and his representatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
