Trabzonspor are reportedly considering making Andre Onana’s loan move from Manchester United permanent, only weeks after the goalkeeper joined the Turkish club.
The 28-year-old completed a season-long loan to the Super Lig side in August after a challenging first year at Old Trafford. The current deal does not include an option to buy, but Turkish reports suggest Trabzonspor are open to negotiating a permanent transfer depending on his performances.
Difficult spell at Manchester United
Onana joined United from Inter Milan in July 2023 for a fee believed to be around £47m, reuniting with former Ajax boss Erik ten Hag.
The Cameroon international endured a mixed first season in England, producing several standout displays but also facing criticism for high-profile mistakes in the Premier League and Champions League.
United sanctioned his loan move in the summer to allow him regular football and an opportunity to regain confidence after a turbulent campaign.
Strong start in Turkey
Since arriving at Trabzonspor, Onana has made an impressive start, helping the club climb the Super Lig table with a series of assured performances and clean sheets.
His distribution and composure on the ball — hallmarks of his game at Ajax — have drawn praise from teammates and supporters. Local reports claim Trabzonspor’s hierarchy are keen to keep him beyond the current season if financial terms can be agreed.
United monitoring situation
Manchester United are said to be following Onana’s progress closely but would likely seek to recover a significant portion of the fee they paid to Inter Milan should any permanent move be discussed.
The club’s goalkeeping situation remains fluid, with Altay Bayındır and Tom Heaton among those providing depth at Old Trafford. Onana’s form in Turkey could influence United’s future planning in that position.
Neither club has made an official comment on the possibility of a permanent transfer.
