Andre Onana: Manchester United, Inter Milan remain in talks over compromise for goalkeeper
Manchester United's opening bid for Andre Onana totalled £38.5m (€45m) but Inter Milan value the goalkeeper at £51m (€60m), so clubs are working to find a compromise; 27-year-old ex-Cameroon international joined Inter on a five-year deal from Ajax last summer

Manchester United remain in dialogue with Inter Milan as they work to find a compromise over the fee for Andre Onana, which could be in the region of £45 million (€52.5m) inclusive of add-ons.
The Serie A side's total valuation for their goalkeeper is £51m (€60m) and their public stance is he will remain at the club unless that figure is met.
United's opening bid of £38.5m (€45m) was duly rejected but sources close to the player believe there is a desire from all parties to reach a resolution before Onana is due to report for Inter's pre-season on July 13.
The 27-year-old has made clear his intention to move to Old Trafford and reunite with his former Ajax manager, Erik ten Hag.
Sky Sports News has been told that there is optimism a proposal of around £40m up front plus £5m in add-ons (€52.5m) could get a deal over the line.
United have been very strong on not bending their price points on targets this summer.
Onana's desire to join the club, plus his suitability for and understanding of Ten Hag's demands in the position, makes him their top goalkeeping target.

However, United continue to do due diligence on other options — Justin Bijlow, David Raya and Diogo Costa have been among them — in case common ground with Inter cannot be found.
