Trabzonspor Moves to Keep Andre Onana

Andre Onana, who played on loan for Trabzonspor last season, was loaned back from Manchester United this summer after intensive contacts with club president Ertugrul Dogan. The 30-year-old goalkeeper's top-level performances this season, his commitment to the club and his strong bond with the fans have clarified the management's plans.

According to a report in the Fanatik newspaper, President Ertugrul Dogan does not want to wait until the end of the season and get into a race with other suitors. The management aims to start direct talks with Manchester United shortly and complete the transfer at an early date.

The goalkeeper's contract with the English club runs until 2028, and United's expected transfer fee is around 10 million euros. His market value is listed at 8 million euros. The player's wish to stay in Trabzon strengthens the Black Sea club's position in the negotiations.

Onana has the league's best save percentage this season at 89.1 percent, and in recent weeks he kept a clean sheet in the matches against Galatasaray, Samsunspor and Besiktas. In those three games, he saved all 15 shots on target that the opponents directed at his goal.
