André Onana Becomes Highest Earner at Trabzonspor After Loan Move

André Onana has joined Trabzonspor on loan from Manchester United. He is now the best-paid player at the Turkish club and one of the highest earners in the Turkish Süper Lig. Onana’s new deal includes a higher salary than what he received at Manchester United, boosted by a substantial signing fee and performance bonuses. Reports indicate that Trabzonspor is ready to match and improve Onana’s salary by including these incentives, enhancing his financial package significantly in this new chapter of his career according to previous reports.

ONANA SECURES RECORD SALARY IN TURKEY

After two difficult seasons at Manchester United, André Onana will now play for Trabzonspor on a season-long loan. The Turkish club will cover his full Manchester United salary, but Onana is expected to earn nearly double what he received in England thanks to extra bonuses and a signing-on fee. This makes the Cameroon goalkeeper not only Trabzonspor’s top earner but also one of the best-paid players in Turkish football history. He is expected to be available to make his debut immediately, with a potential start against Fenerbahçe on Sunday. Onana’s move is seen as a chance for him to regain a regular starting position that he has missed in Manchester as reported.

TRABZONSPOR’S STRONG START AND RECENT CHANGES

Trabzonspor have started the 2025-26 Süper Lig campaign well, currently sitting second in the standings, just behind reigning champions Galatasaray. The addition of Onana is seen as a major boost for the team’s ambitions, especially after Altay Bayındır’s inconsistent performances in goal. Trabzonspor is hoping Onana’s experience will stabilize their defense during this critical stretch of the season, as the goalkeeper arrives after losing his starting spot at Manchester United to Bayındır. His only appearance for United this season was in a shock loss to Grimsby Town in the EFL Cup which further pushed the club to look for changes in their squad.

BIG TEST AHEAD AGAINST FENERBAHÇE

Trabzonspor’s next match is an important one against Gaziantep, who are mid-table and are currently close behind Trabzonspor in the standings. A win could help Trabzonspor keep pressure on Galatasaray at the top, while a loss could see them slip to third. Onana’s likely debut in this high-stakes match could set the tone for both his future at the club and Trabzonspor’s season. Fans are hopeful Onana can regain the form that once took Inter Milan to the Champions League final, and his performances will be key in the coming weeks as Trabzonspor is currently targeting a return to European competition as mentioned in recent updates.
