Following a challenging period at Manchester United marked by criticism, Cameroonian international goalkeeper André Onana has rediscovered his form and a starting role in the Turkish Süper Lig. Now thriving with Trabzonspor , Onana has become an undisputed first choice for the club, which currently sits third in the league, delivering a string of convincing performances between the posts.

His successful revival has not gone unnoticed by his current employers. According to journalist Ekrem Konur, Trabzonspor is keen on making the 27-year-old's move a permanent one. The Turkish club's ambition, however, is contingent on reaching a financial agreement with Manchester United for a favorable price. The same source suggests a return to Old Trafford for the goalkeeper is now highly improbable.

This situation has opened the door for a potential transfer scramble for Onana's signature. Despite his contract with Manchester United running until June 2028, where he earns an annual salary of €7.19 million, his resurgence in Turkey has reportedly attracted attention from several clubs across the Premier League, Serie A, and the Saudi Pro League. The "Indomitable Lion" appears to be at the center of a multi-front transfer battle as his loan spell successfully rebuilds his market value.
