WHAT A TRANSFER INSIDER SAID
They may yet find a buyer for Onana, but there is not one currently at the negotiating table. The United Stand have been told: “I think the situation is open and for the right offer, Manchester United will entertain a sale, but I don’t think they’re desperately trying to push the goalkeeper out. Regarding Saudi Arabia, and I respect the reporting of others, so I’m not intentionally trying to shout down anything that is out there, but I’m told there is zero substance between Neom SC and Andre Onana. No advanced talks, no done deal, not even a desire to bring the player to Neom SC. Wider Saudi interest, yes, but it’s not developed to the point of even a non-binding offer to Onana. So, those close to Onana don’t have a Saudi offer in hand, as far as I’m aware. Those close to Neom SC that I speak to entirely dismiss the possibility of Onana joining their club.”
