The Manchester United goalkeeper agreed to a season-long loan to Trabzonspor, and André Onana’s transfer is anticipated to be finalized this week. A physical is scheduled on Thursday before the transfer is finalized.
With Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton already at the club, Ruben Amorim now had a fourth keeper after Senne Lammens was bought from Royal Antwerp on the day of the Premier League transfer deadline. Onana had thought he would remain at United.
It is believed that Onana would make more money at Trabzonspor since the 29-year-old will be eligible for a signing-on fee and a Super Lig tax rate of 20%.
The footballer is eager to maximize his profits since he has charitable obligations, especially through his André Onana Foundation. Members of the team will not earn the 25% pay raise that comes with playing in the Champions League because United is once again not in that tournament.
André Onana to complete Trabzonspor loan
Onana will see a significant cash boost as a result of the shift. According to reports, the increased bonuses contained in the Turkish arrangement will nearly treble his compensation. The 29-year-old earned almost €7.3 million a year at United, which already places him among the highest-paid football players in Africa.
The magnitude of the skill Trabzonspor will momentarily possess is demonstrated by Onana’s present market worth, which is valued at €25 million. He is still bound to Manchester United when the loan period ends because his contract with the Premier League team hasn’t altered.
In the summer, Onana was assured he would remain at United. His contract, which is worth around £100,000 per week, expires in June 2027, and it was mentioned during talks about possible new terms that a new contract would not be in the works.
Following Lammens’ signing, club sources stated that they were comfortable with having four goalkeepers and mentioned the likelihood that Onana would be in Cameroon’s team for the Africa Cup of Nations, which would mean he would be out for up to six weeks. The competition begins on December 21.
