Manchester United Slap £30M Price Tag on Andre Onana Amid Exit Talks — Monaco Circle as Emiliano Martinez Lined Up

Manchester United have officially set a £30 million asking price for goalkeeper Andre Onana, signaling their readiness to sell the Cameroonian international just one year after his £47.2 million move from Inter Milan. The decision follows an underwhelming debut season that has triggered a potential overhaul between the sticks at Old Trafford.

AS Monaco are currently monitoring Onana’s situation closely, with head coach Ruben Amorim keen to strengthen his squad ahead of the 2025/26 Ligue 1 campaign. However, no formal bid has been submitted yet, as the French club weigh the financial implications of the deal. Sources within the club say Monaco have now been briefed on United’s valuation and are expected to respond within days.

Onana managed just 11 clean sheets in 50 appearances across all competitions last season, conceding a worrying number of goals in crucial games. His inconsistent form was part of a broader defensive collapse that saw United drop to a shocking 15th place finish in the Premier League — their worst league standing in the post-Ferguson era.

To compound their woes, the Red Devils also lost the Europa League final to Tottenham Hotspur, with Onana’s performance in the final drawing heavy criticism from fans and pundits. The club’s hierarchy has since prioritized a goalkeeping revamp as part of a summer rebuild under pressure.

United have already begun eyeing a potential replacement, with Aston Villa and Argentina No.1 Emiliano Martinez emerging as the leading candidate. Martinez, who helped Villa to a top-six finish and shone at Copa América 2024, is seen as a more commanding presence and experienced leader for Erik ten Hag’s evolving squad.

Despite the club’s eagerness to move Onana on, the lack of official offers reflects a limited market for high-earning goalkeepers. United remain firm on the £30 million price and have no intention to loan or release the player for less.

With the summer transfer window heating up, all eyes are now on Monaco to decide whether they’ll meet United’s valuation or look elsewhere — while Martinez’s situation at Villa could also evolve quickly should Onana’s exit materialize.
