André Onana has no intention of returning to Manchester United when his loan spell at Trabzonspor comes to an end, with the Turkish club now working towards securing his services on a permanent basis.
According to information reported by Fabrizio Romano, the Cameroonian international goalkeeper does not plan to rejoin Manchester United after his loan in Turkey.
Instead, indications suggest that Onana is keen to continue his career at Trabzonspor, where he has been playing regularly since his arrival.
Reports in the Turkish press state that Trabzonspor’s management has already made contact with Manchester United to discuss the possibility of a permanent transfer.
The club is said to be encouraged by the goalkeeper’s desire to remain, viewing his willingness as a key factor in negotiations.
However, the transfer fee requested by Manchester United remains a stumbling block.
While discussions are ongoing, the financial demands of the English club are proving difficult for Trabzonspor to meet.
Despite this, the Turkish side believes that Onana’s preference to stay could help move talks forward.
Since joining Trabzonspor, the 29-year-old has delivered a series of solid performances, reinforcing the club’s interest in retaining him beyond the current loan deal.
His form has also been noted by observers, with the move seen by some as beneficial for the goalkeeper’s career.
Onana, who is under contract with Manchester United until June 2028, is currently valued at €15 million on Transfermarkt.
His long-term deal gives United leverage in negotiations, even as the player’s future appears increasingly tied to Turkey.
Trabzonspor are preparing for their upcoming Turkish Super Lig fixture against Samsunspor in the 21st round of the season.
Betting company 1xbet has listed the odds for the match as follows: a Trabzonspor win at 2.70, a draw at 3.25, and a Samsunspor victory at 2.55.
As talks continue, all indications suggest that André Onana’s next step will depend on whether Trabzonspor can bridge the financial gap and convince Manchester United to sanction a permanent move.
