Manchester United faces €75m obstacle to secure 'perfect' Onana replacement

With Onana, that stability and trust in defence are missing, as every attack from the opponent creates fear of conceding. Goalkeeping is a crucial part of the spine that holds the team together, and United have to make immediate changes.

According to Fichajes, United want Porto goalkeeper Costa to replace Onana during the summer transfer window under Amorim. Costa has a release clause of €75m, which is a significant obstacle for the Red Devils to get their target.

However, at 25 years of age, Costa is entering the peak years of his career and is well-established at Porto. Furthermore, Costa has also secured his position as the goalkeeper at the international level for Portugal.

The 25-year-old’s position as Porto’s captain highlights his importance at the club and his leadership qualities that United desires. Meanwhile, the Red Devils are struggling with financial restrictions due to their frivolous past spending, which includes Onana’s signing.

United have to make several tough choices in the summer window, including the decision to pursue Costa seriously or wait. Rest assured, Amorim and United fans deserve better than what Onana has provided them so far as De Gea’s successor.
