TOP STORY: Al Nassr scupper Man Utd’s keeper plans
Al Nassr have presented an enticing offer to Andre Onana as they look to contend with Manchester United for the in-demand goalkeeper, reports CBS Sports.
The 27-year-old Internazionale keeper was a standout performer as the Nerazzurri reached last season’s Champions League final, garnering interest from Man United and Chelsea as both Premier League clubs look for new No 1s.
However, Al Nassr has now reportedly prioritised the signing of the Cameroon international, with current keeper David Ospina expected to miss a substantial part of the upcoming season because of an injury.
The Saudi side were previously linked with a move for United incumbent David de Gea, whose contract at Old Trafford expired at the end of June. However, in a major blow to the plans of United coach Erik ten Hag, Al Nassr have now turned their attentions to Onana.
