Manchester United signs New De Gea for 20 million to reach a personal agreement! Onana will not leave, the two will compete for the first time

Manchester United is taking practical actions to introduce Belgian Real Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens. According to Italian transfer expert Fabricio Romano, the personal terms have been agreed, and the two clubs are still discussing the transfer fee. The Red Devils may eventually introduce 20 million euros (£17 million).

Romano introduced: "As far as I know, Manchester United is still operating in the introduction of Lamons, and the negotiations are in progress. Personal terms have been almost agreed. Manchester United has engaged in active negotiations with the Belgian goalkeeper, leading some clubs in France and Italy, but this will also depend on the seller."

There are rumors that Manchester City is also competing for Lamons, but Romano said this is purely hype. "Manchester United and Antwerp are also in negotiations, and have reached the in-depth stage, with the transfer fee close to 20 million euros." He said, "Ramons agreed to join Manchester United, but he did not negotiate with Manchester City because the latter's goal is Donnarumma, provided Ederson leaves the team." British media disclosed that Manchester United has been in contact with 23-year-old Ramons since December last year. He came from Bruges and has made 65 appearances after transferring to Antwerp. Lamens was selected for the Belgian national team, but has not really played. Data shows that in the 2024/25 season, Lamens made 178 saves, conceded 15.8 fewer goals than expected, ranking first in the world.

In terms of style, Lamens is tall and thin, and has quick reactions, but he doesn't like to leave the goal line and likes to save with his feet. Manchester United fans are familiar with this feature, and there is no doubt that it is also the way of playing by the famous David De Gea! So, in addition to being used to compare his compatriot Courtois, he is also known as Neude Gea. Lamons is not a pass-by goalkeeper, but Ruben Amorin does not need the goalkeeper to organize an offense, so it is more important to defend the goal.

Romano said that once Ramons joins Manchester United, one of the existing goalkeepers may leave the team at the summer window, and the Red Devils hope to move quickly. Given the transfer fees and wages involved, the 27-year-old Turkish national goal Altay Baindir is more likely to be sent away because Andre Onana is not so easy to sell.

The Daily Mail reported that Manchester United expects Onana to stay in the team this summer and he may return to the start in the Premier League visiting Fulham on Sunday. In the first round, he lost to Arsenal 0-1. Baindir, who replaced him, made a fatal mistake and gave his opponent a winning goal.

Onana was completely excluded from the first round roster after absent from a hamstring injury in the pre-season training camp. Amorin has always been reluctant to confirm that the 29-year-old Cameroon goalkeeper is still his first choice No. 1. When asked whether Onana would start in the second round of the league, the Red Devils coach responded: "Onana can participate in the game health, just like last week, we need to decide who will guard the goal now."

Once Onana regains the main position, according to the Manchester Evening News, it will "kill Baindir's confidence." He failed to seize the throne for the second time and may be destined to leave. Manchester United still does not intend to introduce a big-name goalkeeper. If Ramons transfers to Manchester United, he may not be able to become a starter immediately, but he will compete with Onana and will not lack the opportunity to play in the Premier League.

"Athletics Network" reported that Manchester United's original idea was that unless Onana was sold, it was not planned to introduce a new goalkeeper, but this situation has changed given that the first round of the league lost to Arsenal due to goalkeeper issues. In addition, the African Cup of Nations will be held during the Christmas schedule from the end of December this year to early January next year. Onana will represent Cameroon in the competition, when Manchester United needs another goalkeeper to participate.

BBC's Simon Stone said that Manchester United's summer transfer window will be very busy in the last 10 days, and it is not ruled out that the possibility of introducing players before the transfer window is closed. Lamens is the only specific operation at present, but this requires the sale of players first. At this moment, Manchester United's closest departure is forward Hoylund, who is in-depth negotiations with Naples.
