Chelsea is looking to add a new goalkeeper this summer, and Andre Onana has been mentioned by Mauricio Pochettino.
In an effort to sign Andre Onana, Chelsea appear ready to throw everything at Inter Milan. The 27-year-old goalkeeper’s potential transfer to Stamford Bridge has received significant media attention in the wake of his outstanding Inter Milan performances this season.
Onana, whose San Siro contract expires in 2027, made 41 appearances for Simone Inzaghi’s team and was instrumental in helping the Nerazzurri advance to the Champions League final. Manchester City strolled to victory in Istanbul despite the Cameroon international’s impressive saves and wide-ranging passing abilities.
football.London is aware that the Blues have been keeping an eye on Onana ever since he played for Ajax a few years ago. The shot-stopper is rumored to be difficult for Inter to let go of, and while he seems content in Milan, Chelsea is considering their options.
Following the Champions League championship, Onana exclaimed, “I’m so, so happy at Inter.”. “At this professional level, anything can happen. I’m available for Inter, and I’ll go along with whatever they decide. I’m content to be playing for Inter. “.
Then, shortly after, his agent Albert Botines clarified his client’s position in advance of the following window. Speaking to Italian media outlet TV Play, he said: “Transfer market rumors are typical at this stage, but I prefer not to talk about it because it’s very early and the boy is currently focused solely on the pitch.
“Inter and we have a five-year contract. The Serie A final and the Champions League final are the only things on his mind right now because he still has four more years left on his contract. Don’t be concerned, he still has a lengthy contract. He is playing for Italy’s top team, which makes him extremely happy. “.
Pochettino will have a difficult time convincing Onana to sign with him, so The Sun reports that the Blues will offer Kalidou Koulibaly and Romelu Lukaku as part of a part-exchange swap deal. The former, who is still regarded in Italy with the utmost respect, is reportedly the subject of discussions between Chelsea and others.
According to the report, Lukaku could also be included in a deal for Onana, though the Belgian’s enormous salary may present a problem. Additionally, the on-loan Blues striker didn’t exactly shine in Istanbul after denying Federico Dimarco a golden opportunity to replace him and then having a clear-cut header saved late in the match.
