André Onana

AS Monaco has made inquiries about André Onana. According to several sources, the Monaco board is sounding out the possibility of a loan deal with a purchase option for the Manchester United and Cameroon international, who is currently enduring a challenging spell in the Premier League.

After a season marked by inconsistent performances between the posts, Monaco is determined to secure a goalkeeper who can make the difference in the 2025/2026 UEFA Champions League. Against all odds, the Principality club has reportedly set its sights on André Onana to achieve that goal. The Monegasques have reportedly gathered information on the Cameroonian shot-stopper and are now conducting a thorough investigation into the financial and contractual terms of a possible transfer, according to Sky Italia.

André Onana, a surprising target

The choice of André Onana may come as a surprise, especially after a turbulent season at Manchester United. Signed with great fanfare in the summer of 2023 to succeed David De Gea, the Cameroonian goalkeeper has yet to fully convince between the sticks for the Red Devils. Responsible for several costly blunders, notably in the Europa League and Premier League this season, the 29-year-old keeper has often been singled out for individual errors.

Despite this, he remains a goalkeeper of international stature, with undeniable experience and a strong track record. With rumors swirling about his potential departure this summer, the Principality club is considering a loan with a purchase option—an arrangement that would limit financial risk while securing the services of an experienced shot-stopper.
