Euro Paper Talk: Man Utd swat Chelsea aside as Ten Hag ‘agrees deal’ for outstanding Inter star; Newcastle in blockbuster €65m raid for Milan maestro

Manchester United have won the race to sign Andre Onana with a €60m deal agreed, Newcastle are to in talks to bring in one of Serie A’s most stylish midfielders, while Wednesday’s Euro Paper Talk claims Dortmund plan to use their Jude Bellingham windfall to launch a giant raid on Chelsea.

‘TEN HAG TO HUG ONANA AGAIN’ AS MAN UTD SWOOP FOR INTER KEEPER

Manchester United are reportedly on the cusp of agreeing the signing of Andre Onana after major developments in Italy.

The former Ajax keeper played under Erik ten Hag for the Dutch giants before being sold to Inter Milan. And after an outstanding season in Italy, the Cameroon custodian has established himself as one of the world’s elite goalkeepers.

That form has led to speculation of a big-money move to Chelsea, with Mauricio Pochettino keen to bring in a new No 1.

However, all of Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport insist that is United who have won the race for his signature.

The claim a deal to take Onana to Old Trafford will reportedly cost €60m (£51.6m). That will make the 27-year-old the third most-costly keeper of all time behind only Kepa Arrizabalaga and Alisson Becker.

Now Ten Hag is intent on bring Onana to Manchester United with a ‘deal agreed’ ahead of the move becoming official.

He will replace David De Gea as United’s No 1, with the Spaniard now likely to depart after 12 seasons at the club.

Discussing the impending deal, il Corriere dello Sport imaginatively writes Onana ‘will hug Erik ten Hag again’ (21/06/2023, page 6).

From Inter’s point of view, they will not stand in Onana’s way of making the move.

And the Nerrazzuri are reportedly closing on a deal to sign Empoli’s Guglielmo Vicario as his replacement. The beaten Champions League finalists will pay €25m for Vicario with the Tuscans’ president Fabrizio Corsi confirming the double deal was imminent.
