Man Utd enter Onana talks, De Gea exit looking likely

David De Gea will be out of contract with Man United next week, despite long negotiations to try and get the Spaniard to renew. The Red Devils had been hedging their bets on De Gea staying however, and there have been reports of a shortlist of replacements that included Brentford's David Raya and Porto's Diogo Costa. 

Now, according to '90min', United are adding another name, as they enter talks with Inter Milan over Andre Onana. The Cameroon international had been linked with Chelsea previously, but the Blues were put off by his price tag, which would sit somewhere around €60 million total.

Onana played under Man United coach Erik ten Hag at Ajax, which could make the move look appealing. It would however make United have to reconsider their spending this summer if they decide to splash out on a goalie of Onana's price.

The same outlet reports that the club had hoped De Gea would stay, allowing them to sign a cheaper alternative to challenge him for his starting spot, rather than pay big money this year, as they are in dire need of power up front.
