Andre Onana‘s loan move from Man United to Trabzonspor is reportedly imminent after both clubs signed documents to confirm the deal.
The Man United flop has agreed to join Trabzonspor on a season long loan move, which will see the Cameroon international receive a big pay rise due to the signing-on fee and bonuses.
United will not receive a loan fee and there is no option for the Turkish club to sign Onana permanently when it runs out on June 30.
According to Fabrizio Romano, all documents have now been signed by the two clubs to confirm Onana’s move, with the goalkeeper having already approved the deal.
Onana’s future at Old Trafford had been in doubt all summer after United pursued a new goalkeeper before signing Senne Lammens from Antwerp in a £21.7million deal last week.
Despite assertions from sources close to United and the player that Onana would stay, the Cameroon international is believed to have been told that the club would not stand in his way if he wanted to seek a move.
Contact was made with Trabzonspor who were in the process of selling their keeper Ugurcan Cakir to Galatasaray, and a loan deal for Onana has progressed quickly ahead of the transfer window closing there on Friday.
Onana is expected to travel to Turkey on Thursday.
The 29-year-old is currently with the Cameroon squad during the international break.
Onana was in goal for Cameroon’s 3-0 victory over Eswatini last Thursday and is set to be in action on Tuesday when they face Cape Verde.
The match will be a crunch one in Cameroon’s bid to qualify for next year’s World Cup.
Cameroon are currently second in their group, one point behind Cape Verde who currently hold the automatic qualification spot.
Victory would help Cameroon avoid potentially have to compete in a play-off to earn their spot in next summer’s tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
