Inter Milan have opened discussions that could see Andre Onana make a surprise return to the San Siro this summer, following fresh talks between the club and the goalkeeper’s representatives.
The Cameroon international is currently on loan at Turkish side Trabzonspor after falling down the pecking order at Manchester United earlier this season. His agents were in Milan this week to explore multiple options, with Inter identifying him as a possible long-term replacement for Yann Sommer.
Onana left Manchester United’s starting lineup earlier this season after losing his No.1 spot following the arrival of Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp in September. While the 29-year-old has not completely ruled out reviving his career at Old Trafford, indications suggest a permanent exit is more likely at the end of the campaign.
Inter’s interest is rooted in Onana’s impressive spell with the club during the 2022–23 season. He played a key role in their run to the UEFA Champions League final, where they narrowly lost to Manchester City in Istanbul, and also helped secure both the Coppa Italia and the Italian Super Cup. His performances made him a fan favourite and convinced Manchester United to sign him for £47.2 million.
However, an inconsistent two-season stint in England has prompted United to rethink their goalkeeping situation. Despite still having over two years left on his contract, the Premier League club may be forced to reach a financial settlement to facilitate any potential move.
With Inter exploring long-term options in goal and Onana seeking stability and a reset, a reunion in Italy could appeal to all parties as the summer transfer window approaches.
