Overview
- The clubs finalised the season-long loan on Thursday, July 2, 2026, and the agreement does not include an option or obligation for Trabzonspor to buy Onana.
- Manchester United will receive a modest loan fee reported at about £1.2m with bonuses that could raise the total to roughly €1.5m.
- Trabzonspor will cover the majority of Onana’s wages and could meet clauses that result in full salary coverage for the 2026/27 season.
- United moved for the loan after making clear Onana could not dislodge Senne Lammens as first-choice goalkeeper and was considered too highly paid for a backup role.
- Onana rebuilt his form in Turkey last season by starting regularly, helping Trabzonspor win the Turkish Cup and finish third, and he remains under contract to United through 2028 so any permanent sale would be revisited next summer.
