AC Milan are reportedly interested in signing Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana during this summer’s transfer window.
There is currently speculation surrounding the Cameroonian’s future, with a number of clubs from the Saudi Pro League believed to be interested in securing his signature at the end of the 2024-25 campaign.
Onana is allegedly happy at Old Trafford and not considering an exit, although that could change if the 20-time English champions make it clear that he is surplus to requirements at the club moving forward.
According to Fichajes, Onana has interest from a European powerhouse in the shape of Milan, with the San Siro giants viewing him as a potential replacement for Mike Maignan, should the France international move on this summer.
Maignan will allegedly be sold this summer if Milan fail to qualify for the 2025-26 Champions League, with Chelsea and Aston Villa believed to be among the clubs keen on his signature at the end of the campaign.
Milan are currently ninth in the Serie A table six points off fourth-placed Bologna, with the team therefore facing a battle to ensure Champions League qualification for next term.

Milan ‘interested in summer move for Onana’
Maignan’s contract with Milan is due to expire next summer, and there is an expectancy that he will be on the move in the upcoming market, with Onana seemingly being identified as the ideal replacement.
Onana has experience of operating in Serie A, having turned out for Inter Milan during the 2022-23 campaign, making 41 appearances for the Italian giants, keeping 19 clean sheets in the process.
The 28-year-old’s stock is high in Italy considering his displays for Inter, but he has largely found it difficult to make his mark for Man United since arriving at Old Trafford in the summer of 2023.
In 91 appearances across all competitions, Onana has kept just 22 clean sheets, while he has conceded 136 times.
The goalkeeper has had a number of standout matches for the Red Devils, but he has also made a host of high-profile errors, and Man United are said to be ready to move him on at the end of the campaign.

Who could Man United sign to replace Onana?
Lille‘s Lucas Chevalier is regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in European football, with Man United said to be keen on his services, although Manchester City are also believed to be in the race.
Chevalier has kept 11 clean sheets for Lille this season, and the 23-year-old is being tipped to join a major club in the near future.
Royal Antwerp‘s Senne Lammens is also believed to have admirers at Old Trafford, although he would be a risk due to his lack of experience, with the 22-year-old only featuring on 49 occasions for his current side.
Burnley‘s James Trafford is also seen as a potential option for the Red Devils, with the 22-year-old in outstanding form for the Clarets this season, keeping 26 clean sheets in 37 Championship appearances, only conceding 11 times in the process.
