Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana is in line to receive a pay rise – despite being on the verge of leaving Old Trafford on loan to join Trabzonspor, Fabrizio Romano has revealed.
The Cameroon goalkeeper has been knocked down the pecking order at Old Trafford and is set to leave the Red Devils for the next year in a deal that will not have a purchase option.
Onana’s move to Turkey has been incentivised by a wage increase, Romano says.

Speaking on YouTube, he confirmed: “Andre Onana is going to join Trabzonspor. Now the deal is agreed between all parties and is even agreed on the player’s side. He’s signed his contract. It’s a loan deal. It doesn’t include a buy-option clause. He’ll return to Manchester United next summer. It doesn’t include any fee. Trabzonspor will pay part of the salary.
“His salary will be slightly higher than the salary he has at Manchester United. There will be something in addition as a signing fee for Onana. He’s already accepted this.
“What’s needed now is for Man Utd to exchange all the documents and sign all the contracts. Then the plan from Onana’s side is to travel to Turkey on Thursday. He’ll then sign his contract and then be announced as a new Trabzonspor player.”
Is Onana leaving Man Utd?
Onana will leave Man Utd in the days ahead, with Ruben Amorim central to the decision.
The goalkeeper had been pushing Man Utd for more money since returning to pre-season training in the summer, according to a previous report from The Athletic.
It now appears that the former Inter man has got his wish, albeit it has taken him to move to Turkey in order to get the wage bump that he believes his performances justified.
United were shocked by this attitude from the player, which is one of the reasons that Amorim was ultimately eager to replace him with Senne Lammens.
Romano has revealed that, in the end, Amorim is happy to see Onana leave.
“He wanted to clarify this situation. He said that internally, having four goalkeepers, including a keeper like Onana being on the bench, was going to be a problem. Maybe it could be a source of pressure for Senne Lammens. So everyone at Man Utd agreed on the possibility to send Onana on loan, give him the chance to start on a regular basis,” the football transfer news reporter said.
Onana could now make his Trabzonspor debut against Fenerbahce next Sunday should the deal go through without a hitch.
