Saudi Sides Refuse to Give Up in Pursuit of Man Utd Keeper Onana

 

ONANA STILL WANTED IN SAUDI ARABIA DESPITE UNITED MISTAKES – RED DEVILS PONDER NEXT MOVE

Despite a rocky debut campaign at Manchester United, Andre Onana continues to attract serious interest from Saudi Pro League clubs, with sources suggesting the interest is “still very much alive” ahead of the summer transfer window.

🧤 Why Saudi Clubs Want Onana

Star Power: Onana’s profile as a Champions League finalist and former Inter and Ajax standout fits the Saudi league’s push for marquee international names.

Shot-stopping pedigree: Despite his inconsistency this season, Onana remains a top-tier shot-stopper on his day, with elite ball-playing ability.

Availability: With United open to trimming the squad and recouping funds, Saudi clubs sense an opportunity.

🔴 Man Utd's Stance

The club is said to be undecided on whether to cash in or give Onana more time to settle.

United would want at least £40-45 million to avoid a significant loss on their initial investment.

The Red Devils are also exploring backup options including Bart Verbruggen (Brighton), Diogo Costa (Porto), and Giorgi Mamardashvili (Valencia).

💼 Could a Deal Happen?

Financial incentive: A sizeable Saudi bid could be tempting, especially if it helps United navigate FFP limits.

Player decision: Onana has not publicly expressed a desire to leave but may consider a lucrative Saudi move if his No.1 spot comes under threat.

📅 What’s Next?

Expect talks to intensify in June, especially if United signal a willingness to negotiate. Saudi clubs may also use the upcoming summer tours and agent meetings in Europe to push their proposals.
