Manchester United currently has the most interest in “sensational” goalkeeper targets and are already in touch to discuss the deal, according to the report.
Man Utd is aiming to replace Andre Onana
Another difficult campaign for Andre Onana of Old Trafford, former United Mann Nemanja Matic was particularly critical of the goalkeeper before the clash in the Europa League quarterfinals with Lyon.
Of course, Reuben Amorim’s side went past the French club, but it appears that the manager is about to replace the goalkeeper after losing to the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur last month.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Man United was suitable to sign Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez as an alternative to Onana, followed by further updates on the pursuit of the Argentine international.
According to a report from TYC Sports (via Sport Witness), United are currently in touch with each other a few months ago to discuss potential moves and ultimately decide to stick with Onana.
Barcelona has also shown interest in the shot stoppers at the villa, but the Laliga champion appears to be heading to Joan Garcia now, allowing the door to open for a move to Old Trafford.
In reports that the Unai Emery side is set to hold on a large amount of fees, the contract could be on the expensive side, but it is unclear how much they will receive.
“Sensenal” Martinez could be a major upgrade for Onana
Onana would have hoped that a good show in the Europa League final would give him a red shot, but he ended up making a disappointing exhibit.
There are indications that Argentina could fit the bill, surpassing the Cameroonians across many key indicators of goalkeepers per 90 minutes over the past year.
Jamie Smith has previously praised the 32-year-old as “sensational,” and has won the FIFA Men’s Goalkeeper Award in both 2022 and 2024.
