DEAL AGREED: Manchester United agree deal to sign Top South American goalkeeper who’s far better than Onana
The goalkeeper position is still one to watch for Manchester United this summer.
Man Utd ‘Not Desperate’ to Sell Andre Onana
But United goalkeeper is not untouchable
Sources tell GIVEMESPORT that Manchester United are not desperate to sell Onana and that he’s still part of the project also approved by Ruben Amorim. But in the case of a good proposal for all parties, he’d not be untouchable.
Saudi Pro League clubs maintain interest in Onana and that’s a potential scenario. No proposal has arrived on Man United’s table yet, but this story could develop later this summer and so the club is maintaining a close eye on opportunities for the goalkeeper position in case anything changes with regard to Onana’s future.
In addition to Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic who has remained on the shortlist since March as exclusively confirmed by GIVEMESPORT, sources reveal that Manchester United also had positive feedback from Emiliano Martinez as a potential candidate for the goalkeeper position in case Onana decides to leave Old Trafford this summer.
Emi Martinez Wants to Leave Aston Villa
Initial contacts have taken place with Man United
Martinez is planning to leave Aston Villa – he was emotional in his final game last season and his exit remains a possibility, depending on the goalkeeper’s domino this summer.
Initial contacts took place and the understanding is that Martinez – described as being ‘world-class’ – would be open to joining Manchester United even without Champions League football, as he is ready for a new chapter in his career.
The real key point now will be Man United, as their strategy on goalkeepers depends on Onana. Martinez is currently waiting to see what happens with several clubs attentive to his case.
Martinez ‘Says Yes’ to Man United Move
The goalkeeper wants to stay in Europe after Saudi interest
There’s also genuine interest from the Saudi Pro League, but Martinez prefers to wait for solutions in Europe as he also wants to arrive at the 2026 World Cup in the best condition possible having won the 2022 version with Argentina.
One to watch in the next weeks; but for sure, Martinez would be ready to say yes.
