Last month, Fabrizio Romano reported that Andre Onana reached a verbal agreement<\/a> to sign with Inter Milan<\/a> in the summer of 2022 as a free agent. As of this week, that plan remains in place, according to Romano<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The deal will be completed once it’s allowed to by official rules. Many clubs, including Barcelona<\/a>, are approaching Onana, but Inter remains in the lead. This will be an excellent deal for the reigning Serie A<\/a> champions.<\/p>\n

Inter Milan Remain Committed to Andre Onana<\/h2>\n

Strong Deal for Both Parties<\/h3>\n

First off, Inter has had Samir Handanovic in goal since 2012. The Slovenian remains nothing short of spectacular. Not only is he a superb leader, but also a superb player. Handanovic, however, turns 38 this coming summer. Due to this, Inter are wise to find a replacement.<\/p>\n

Onana turns 26 in April. He’s shined for Ajax down the road, although he has not played for quite some time. This is due to a doping ban<\/a>, but he’s returned to practice for the Dutch giants.<\/p>\n

First off, Onana has great size. His reflexes are wildly excellent, he can control the ball at his feet and has top-notch experience as a champion in the Netherlands and a deep run in the Champions League.<\/p>\n

He’s going to have massive shoes to fill at Inter, as Handanovic has been one of the top goalkeepers in all of football for nearly a decade now. Inter are also in the hunt for the Serie A crown, sitting third behind AC Milan and Napoli. The club also has a favorable route in making the Round of 16 in the Champions League. Handanovic can only add to his Inter legacy this season if it is indeed his last.<\/p>\n

From a talent standpoint, Onana is one of the best available options for Inter. His talent is undeniable, and his age will allow Inter to have their solution for potentially up to a decade.<\/p>\n
