Manchester United target Roma goalkeeper to replace Onana
Recent news suggests that Manchester United are showing interest in Roma goalkeeper Maire Svilar.If they decide to sign the Belgian goalkeeper, it could be to find a replacement for Onana.
Svilar is 25 years old and had a very solid season with Roma last season.He made 51 appearances in all competitions and didn’t allow a goal in 19 of them.This performance helped Roma to get the fifth place in Serie A.It can be said that he is one of the important pillars of the team’s backline.
Currently, Svilar’s contract with Roma has two more years to go before it expires, but the two sides haven’t talked about a contract extension yet.This gives other clubs a chance to approach him.Apart from Manchester United, Bayern Munich are also keeping an eye on him.
According to some inside sources, Roma might consider releasing him if any team is willing to offer up to about €50 million.The price doesn’t seem low, but it’s acceptable for the giants.And it’s worth noting that Roma signed Svilar for free in the first place, so this transfer would be a good return on investment for them.Also, Svilar’s weekly wage requirement is around £60,000, which is within United’s affordable range.
In addition to Svilar, United are also looking at other Serie A goalkeepers, such as Torino’s Milinkovic-Savic.It can be seen that the “Red Devils” are actively looking for additional candidates in the goalkeeper position.
Manchester United will play a friendly match against Leeds United on July 19th.At that time, we may see whether they have made any new moves in the transfer market.However, it is not certain if they will make an official offer before the match.
Overall, although this is only at the rumor stage, if United do make a move, Svilar will probably be on their list of reinforcements this summer.After all, he has proven himself in Serie A, and United are in need of a reliable replacement goalkeeper to bolster the depth of their squad.
