Overview
- In mid-June Manchester United told Andre Onana he is free to find a new club as the club prepares for pre-season and looks to remove him from its wage bill.
- Trabzonspor’s president has publicly said the Turkish club have met Onana’s salary demands and expect to complete a permanent deal after his season-long loan.
- No buy option was reported in Onana’s loan, so any permanent transfer requires fresh negotiations between Manchester United and interested Turkish clubs including Trabzonspor and Besiktas.
- United need to secure roughly £20 million from a sale to meet Premier League Profitability and Sustainability Rules and Onana’s expected wage rise after Champions League qualification narrows the pool of realistic buyers.
- Senne Lammens established himself as United’s first-choice goalkeeper in 2025/26 and Onana’s strong form for Trabzonspor, which included a Turkish Cup win and Europa League qualification, now shapes a likely permanent exit.
