Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana is considering a loan switch to Turkish club Trabzonspor following developments in the transfer market.
The Cameroonian had previously been linked with Galatasaray, but the club opted to sign Ugurcan Cakir instead. Cakir, who featured in Turkey’s World Cup qualifying victory over Georgia on Thursday, completed a move from Trabzonspor on 2 September in a deal valued at up to €36 million (£31.2 million).
With Cakir’s departure, Trabzonspor have been exploring alternatives and believe Onana could provide significant impact between the posts. The Turkish transfer window remains open until 12 September, leaving room for negotiations. Onana is currently away on international duty with Cameroon.
Manchester United had indicated a willingness to retain four senior goalkeepers after securing Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp on deadline day. However, head coach Ruben Amorim has expressed a preference for a leaner squad given the club’s absence from European competition.
Alongside Onana, United’s goalkeeping department also includes Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton, but both Onana and Bayindir have been viewed as potential departures to balance the squad structure.
