Manchester United begin talks to sign £51m goalkeeper to replace Andre Onana
Manchester United have held initial talks for Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kaua Santos (Getty) Manchester United have made an approach to sign Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kaua Santos as a potential replacement for Andre Onana. United are under pressure to recruit a new goalkeeper in the summer transfer window following the unconvincing performances from both Onana and Altay Bayindir this season. Onana, who was signed in a £47 million deal from Inter in 2023, was at fault for both goals in United’s 2-2 draw against Lyon in the Europa League last Thursday and was dropped for the Premier League match against Newcastle United last Sunday. Bayindir deputised for the Cameroon international at St James’ Park but also made an error as Newcastle ran out 4-1 winners over United. Ruben Amorim has confirmed that Onana will return for the second leg of United’s quarter-final tie against Lyon in the Europa League on Thursday night, but the club are now in the market to sign a new goalkeeper before the start of next season.

According to Sport Bild, Santos is on United’s radar and the club’s director of recruitment, Christopher Vivell, spoke with Frankfurt’s sporting director, Markus Krosche, about the 22-year-old during the German club’s Europa League tie against Tottenham last Thursday.

Frankfurt, however, view Santos as the long-term successor to Kevin Trapp and are demanding a €60m (£51.5m) transfer fee to sell the Brazilian goalkeeper this summer. Speaking to Sport Bild this week, Krosche said: ‘We will definitely not sell Kaua this summer.’ Santos was signed by Frankfurt in a €1.6m (£1.3m) deal from Brazilian side Flamengo in 2023 but has only been part of the first-team squad this season. Speaking earlier this season, Santos said that he shaped his own game around Manchester City’s Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson. ‘I’ve always liked Ederson, because he has that characteristic of playing with his feet,’ said Santos. I play with my feet and with my speed. Big goalkeepers are usually slow, but in my case, it’s different. Having worked a lot on this, I consider myself a fast goalkeeper.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
