Cameroon goalkeeper André Onana is being linked with a move from Manchester United to Turkish giants Besiktas, with his long-term club situation and contract status adding to speculation over a potential free-agent departure.
Transfer data dated 13 April 2026 lists Besiktas as a possible destination for the 30-year-old, with the probability of the move marked as unclear (“?”). Onana, whose current estimated market value stands at €12.00m, is therefore being discussed as a potentially high-profile option for the Istanbul club should he become available at low cost or as a free agent if his contract position allows.
Born on 2 April 1996 in Nkol Ngok, the 1.90m goalkeeper is a full Cameroon international and operates predominantly as a right‑footed shot-stopper. The latest registration data shows him with Trabzonspor and wearing the number 24 shirt, underlining his recent experience in the Turkish Süper Lig – knowledge that could appeal to Besiktas as they weigh up goalkeeping options for future windows.
The rumour trail links the move from Manchester United, where Onana has previously been registered in the Premier League. His time in England, combined with spells in European competition earlier in his career, had helped establish him as a prominent figure between the posts, reflected in his current €12.00m valuation. Recent listings do not specify his contract expiry date, leaving room for talk that he could run down his deal and move once any agreement lapses, or negotiate an exit that effectively mirrors a free-agent style switch.
No formal bid or agreement has been recorded and there is no confirmed fee attached to the reported interest. With his experience in top European leagues, existing knowledge of Turkish football and prime goalkeeping age, any eventual move to Besiktas – whether via transfer or as a free agent – would represent a potentially significant next chapter in Onana’s career and a notable statement of intent from the Istanbul side.
