Reliable transfer expert says Man Utd have now made contact to sign Serie A goalie this summer
Manchester United have made initial contact with the representatives of Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic as they look to strengthen in the position during the summer transfer window, according to Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
The Red Devils want to know the fee and other conditions it will take to land the 28-year-old, as it appears that head coach Ruben Amorim is preparing for life without Andre Onana going forward.
Man United were first linked with Milinkovic-Savic last month after their first-choice goalie made two high-profile errors that cost them victory in the first-leg of their Europa League quarter-final against Olympique Lyon.
They have been underwhelming in the Premier League this season and are desperate to make much-needed improvements heading into 2025-26, and a change in goalkeeper could be on the cards.
Onana has committed eight errors leading to goals since joining the Red Devils from Inter Milan in the summer of 2023, and the club could be forced to change him this summer.
Saudi club Neom SC want him and major talks between his representatives and the club have taken place, with the Man United star open to a move.
Milinkovic-Savic has been identified as an option to replace the Cameroonian, with the performances of the Serbia international catching the eyes of the Old Trafford club and other suitors across Europe.
A return to Man United could appeal to the Spain-born goalie after failure to earn a UK work permit forced the Red Devils to release him in November 2015.
An agreement to join them from Vojvodina for €1.8 million was reached in May 2014, but he spent the following season with the Serbian club and had his Man United contract ended after he was not granted a work permit.
The 6ft 8in Milinkovic-Savic has since established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the Italian top-flight, with 143 Serie A games under his belt, and his incredible reflexes and ability to make superb saves from close range have attracted Amorim to him from the look of things.
