Europe's three giants staged a big move, and Inter also netted 40 million euros in a one-for-two

In modern football, the role of the goalkeeper is becoming more and more important, if a goalkeeper can save left and right, try to keep the goal intact, and make the team invincible, it is already a very good goalkeeper; If the goalkeeper can also launch an attack directly at the back, pass the ball to the feet of teammates in an attacking position through long passes and hand throws, and quickly change the team from defensive to offensive, helping the team score goals and win the game, then such a goalkeeper is undoubtedly a world-class goalkeeper. Inter Milan's goalkeeper Onana is such a modern goalkeeper who can attack and defend well, which has attracted the coveted attention of many giants.

Onana joined Inter on a free agent last season, and although he and Handanovic rotated in the cup and league games at the beginning of the season, they gradually snatched the main position from Handanovic with Onana's excellent performance. Especially in the Champions League, Inter were able to reach the Champions League final and lose to Manchester City by only one goal, Onana's performance in front of the goal line was crucial, 13 Champions League games, Onana kept 8 clean sheets and made 47 successful saves, both of which ranked first among all goalkeepers in the Champions League. With wonderful performances time and time again, Onana's value has risen from 18 million euros at the beginning of the season to 35 million euros today.

At the end of last season, both Premier League side Chelsea and Manchester United expressed keen interest in Onana to sign the 27-year-old Cameroonian goalkeeper from Inter. However, Chelsea's demand for goalkeepers is not as strong as Manchester United's due to Kepa's presence, and Manchester United has become Onana's number one suitor! Manchester United, who finished third in the Premier League last season and will compete in the Champions League this season, will naturally need to strengthen the team further in order to achieve better results, and following the €65 million signing of England midfielder Mount from Chelsea, Onana is the number one target they are currently pursuing.

If it weren't for the club's financial difficulties, Inter would not have been willing to give up such a good goalkeeper, but it is really short-sighted, and if there is a team that can make an offer that Inter cannot refuse, then it can take away one of the best goalkeepers in the world at the moment. And the so-called irrefutable offer, almost 60 million euros will do. Manchester United has twice made official offers to Inter to buy Onana, the first offer of 45 million euros, the second offer of 50 million euros, but were rejected by Inter, Inter's reply is very simple, if you want to take Onana, you need 60 million euros, not a single one can be less.

An important reason why Inter are so tough is to see the current predicament of Manchester United, Manchester United has just announced the departure of Spanish goalkeeper De Gea for 12 years, and in the case of another goalkeeper Henderson may also move to Nottingham Forest, Onana has become a necessity for Manchester United, not to mention that Onana is also the player named by Manchester United manager Ten Hag. It is reported that Onana has agreed with Manchester United on a contract with an annual salary of 6 million euros and a period of 4+1, and Manchester United and Inter have agreed on the transfer amount. It is reported that Manchester United's third offer will reach 55 million euros, which is very close to Inter's asking price, and the two sides may agree between 57 million euros and 58 million euros.

Since Onana joined Inter as a free agent, all the transfer fees earned by Inter selling Onana can be included in Inter's transfer profit, which is undoubtedly very important for Inter's financial statements. Once Onana successfully moves to Manchester United, Inter may need to bring in two goalkeepers to fill the vacancy left by Onana and Handanovic as his contract has expired.

Inter are currently eyeing Bayern's 34-year-old Swiss goalkeeper Sommer and Shakhtar Donetsk, 21-year-old Ukrainian goalkeeper Trubin. Last season, due to Neuer's accidental injury, Bayern brought in Sommer from Borussia Monchengladbach for 9 million euros in the winter window, and Sommer made 25 appearances for Bayern in half a season, helping Bayern successfully defend the Bundesliga title. Now that Neuer has returned from injury, if Sommer stays in the team, he will only be able to play as Neuer's backup and will not get many opportunities to play, so the player himself also hopes to leave the team to join a team that can play as a main player. Inter are about to offer Bayern 6 million euros for Sommer, and due to Bayern's good relationship with Inter, the chances of this deal being successful are high as long as the player himself agrees.

In addition to Sommer, Inter's other potential target is Shakhtar Trubin, a young goalkeeper for Shakhtar Donetsk. Although Trump is only 21 years old, he has been a regular goalkeeper for Shakhtar as early as the 2020-2021 season and has guarded the door for Shakhtar in the group stage of the Champions League. That season, Shakhtar happened to be in the same group as Real Madrid and Inter, and Trumpin's magical play against Shakhtar and Inter and Real Madrid left a deep impression on Inter. Now Trump is worth 22 million euros, but his contract with the miners is one year left to expire, so Inter hope to sign Trubin for 12 million euros, while the asking price of the miners is 15 million euros, and the gap between the two sides is not large. The player himself has also said that he is very happy to play at Inter and is following the news of Onana's move to Manchester United.

At present, if Inter can sell Onana to Manchester United for nearly 60 million euros, and then sign Sommer from Bayern for 6-8 million euros, and sign Trump from Shakhtar for 12 million to 15 million euros, then Inter can be said to exchange Onana for Sommer and Trumpin, the old and young goalkeepers, and make a profit of nearly 40 million euros. The €40 million will be used by Inter to acquire Romelu Lukaku.

It is also worth mentioning that Onana's transfer is likely to trigger a big shift between the goalkeepers of the three giants in Europe, Manchester United bought Inter's Onana for nearly 60 million euros, Inter signed Miner's Rubin and Bayern's Sommer for a total of 20 million euros, Bayern signed Valencia's Georgian goalkeeper Mamardashvili for 30 million euros, Valencia signed with Manchester United to return to Spain's De Gea in the hope period, isn't it amazing?
