[Alfredo Pedulla] ten Hag wants Onana at all costs, United have offered him alternative solutions which would have a much lower cost, but which would not have the same importance (www.alfredopedulla.com)

Rough translation from Google Translate, feel free to correct if anything seems wrong:

Inter have announced an offer from Manchester United for André Onana. Beppe Marotta also spoke about it recently, confirming what we had told in recent days. We will see what the offer will be, if it were less than 50 million as a fixed base plus bonuses to get closer to 60, Inter would reject it. The Red Davils are grappling with the transfer of ownership and must be careful of the costs on the market: ten Hag wants Onana at all costs, they have offered him alternative solutions (Bijlow from Feyenoord) which would have a much lower cost, but which would not have – with all due respect – the same importance from a technical point of view. We will see. Manchester United's budget, after the arrival of Mount (about 70 million), must hire a striker and this too could affect the choice as there is no unlimited budget. United really like Hojlund, but with respect to the news relaunched during the day by England (offer of 40 million pounds) we can add that Atalanta do not intend to listen to offers of less than 60 million euros.

I think Mount and Onana may end up being the only players we get. Pretty shitty but the striker options out there arent the best and the ones we've been looking at are overpriced.

Looks like we may need another short term option for ST. It's annoying as we have been doing a lot of that over the last few seasons. People have been suggesting Taremi who IMO wouldn't be a bad choice.

If we manage to unload some players, I think we may be able to get a striker in even if he’s a stopgap. But I do think that the money originally intended for KMJ is going to Onana

@tonny3629 @Bumi KMJ? Kim Min-jae? do you think we had money set aside for him?

[–] tonny3629@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah. There was some chatter linking us to him from reputable sources before the Bayern links solidified. Considering that Mount talk was present at that time, I would assume that 50-ish m originally reserved for KMJ, is still available. That I think is going toward onana. If we manage to offload some other players, one of mcfred, maybe baily, telles, hendo, I think we could get 50 maybe 60 to spend on a striker. But we suck at selling so who knows.
