Andre Onana will soon become Manchester United goalkeeper after the Premier League giants finally agreed a final fee of €51m 51million (£43.9m, $57.4m) fee plus €4m in add-ons with Inter Milan for his services.
Andre Onana’s medical with Man United is still undecided. However, Fabrizio Romano has reported that the Cameroonian will later travel to UK by tonight to have his medical and could sign his contract with his new club on Wednesday or Thursday.

Meanwhile, the Athletic newspaper are reporting that the 27-year-old could fly to Manchester for his medical tests but could also do so elsewhere before joining United on the club’s pre-season tour of the United States.
Erik ten Hag and his team will fly from Scotland on Wednesday after facing Lyon in Edinburgh in their second pre-season game.
An official confirmation from both clubs on Onana’s deal is not expected today (Tuesday) as there are still some details to work on.
Onana has reportedly agreed his personal terms with the Red Devils and will sign a five-year deal that will end in 2028, with an option of a further year.
According to the Athletic, discussions on Onana’s salary had a breakthrough on Saturday and were completed the next day. United then agreed a final fee with Inter, including bonuses and payment terms, on Monday night.
Onana is keen to move to Old Trafford, where he will reunite with Ten Hag after their time at Ajax.
United intensified their pursuit of the former Cameroon international following the departure of David de Gea after 12 years with the club. The Spaniard’s exit was confirmed earlier this month.
The Onana deal will pave the way for Nottingham Forest to bid for Dean Henderson. Discussions are underway about Henderson’s return to the City Ground, where he spent last season on loan.
