Manchester United have put a £30million price tag on Andre Onana, but the Cameroon goalkeeper looks increasingly likely to stay at Old Trafford this summer.
Mail Sport can reveal that was the price quoted to Monaco when the French club inquired about signing Onana at the end of last month.
Sources in France say that Monaco will continue to monitor the situation, but are unlikely to pay that much for the 29-year-old keeper who cost £47.2m when he joined United from Inter Milan two years ago.
Saudi Premier League newcomers SC Neom had also been following Onana in the background for some time before signing Poland international Marcin Bulka from Nice in recent days.
Onana is keen to stay and club sources say the probability is that he will remain as United’s No.1 after returning to training at Carrington yesterday (mon).
United boss Ruben Amorim and goalkeeper coach Jorge Vital are said to be happy with the former Ajax player despite speculation over a move for Aston Villa’s Emi Martinez.

But with United having to wheel and deal in the transfer market to deliver the signings Amorim wants this summer, almost every player is for sale at the right price and offers of around £30m for Onana would have to be considered.
Goalkeeper isn’t one of the priority positions for United in this transfer window with Amorim more likely to target a striker, central midfielder and centre-back if Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo becomes the second No.10 to move to Old Trafford this summer after Matheus Cunha was signed from Wolves.
United are hopeful of generating significant funds by offloading Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia who have all been told to stay away from training until the squad leave on pre-season tour to the US later this month.
It’s highly doubtful the five players will all be sold but United can at least clear some space on their wage bill by sending them back out on loan.
