Trabzonspor: heated debate over André Onana's salary

The André Onana saga continues to spark intense discussions in Turkey. With the Cameroonian goalkeeper reportedly close to another loan move to Trabzonspor from Manchester United, he now finds himself at the center of a major financial debate.

According to several sources, the proposed deal would not include a purchase option, raising even more questions about its overall cost. Coach Fatih Tekke is said to be strongly pushing to keep the shot-stopper in his squad. But it's Onana's salary that is really making waves. The Cameroonian international could reportedly earn up to €7 million per season, including bonuses—a figure considered unprecedented for a loan in the club's history.

This sum has reignited internal criticism, with some fearing the deal could destabilize the club's wage structure—especially after the recent sale of Uğurcan Çakır. From a sporting perspective, Onana is seen as a major reinforcement, bringing top-level experience and security to a key position. But behind the scenes, the cost-benefit ratio is dividing club officials more than ever. The case remains open.
