Manchester United are looking for a new goalkeeper for next season. Torino’s Vanja Milinković-Savić is a top choice to replace André Onana.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Manchester United have contacted Torino about their goalkeeper Vanja Milinković-Savić, who is 28 years old. United want him as a potential replacement for André Onana, who has not impressed the club leaders. The team has asked Torino about the transfer details, but they are waiting to find out the price before continuing talks.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
This season, Milinković-Savić is one of the best goalkeepers in Serie A, allowing only 37 goals and keeping 10 clean sheets in 34 league games. His strong performance has not only gained United’s interest, but other Premier League clubs like Chelsea and Manchester City are also considering him.
Milinković-Savić has a past connection with Manchester United as he was previously part of their academy. However, he left England due to work permit problems. This history might benefit United in negotiations, but they face tough competition.
WHAT TORINO PRESIDENT SAID
Torino President Urbano Cairo has noticed the interest in his goalkeeper but states that no formal offers have come in. He said, “He had a great championship and it is normal that he receives a lot of attention, but no offer has arrived yet.” This means that while talks have started, the transfer process is still early.
WHAT NEXT FOR MANCHESTER UNITED?
United’s search for a goalkeeper continues, and Milinković-Savić is not their only target. They are also interested in Parma’s goalkeeper Zion Suzuki. In addition to strengthening their goalkeeper options, United are looking at other positions, as reports suggest they are negotiating with striker Victor Osimhen.
United currently hold 5th place in the Premier League with only three games left in the season. They are four points behind 4th-placed Aston Villa in the race for Champions League qualification. Newcastle United are close behind them in 6th place. United will face Wolverhampton Wanderers this weekend, and the match could be important for their European future next season.
