For years, the management of Inter has been unsuccessfully looking for a successor to Samir Handanović, and as things stand, that was perhaps the main goal of the current champion of Italy in the summer transfer window.Only a few days after the curtain fell on the transfer market, Inter agreed on the first signing for year 2022, and as it was announced in the last couple of days, the goalkeeper of Ajax – Andre Onana. The Cameroonian goalkeeper definitely decided to leave Ajax next summer, that is, after his contract with the Amsterdam club expires, and his wish is to join the ranks of Nerazzurri.Time is running out: Dybala wants de Ligt’s salary, Juve are offering 3.5 million USD lessAt this moment, it is only a preliminary agreement and it was realized with Onana’s agents. Considering that the player is still under contract with the Dutch champions, final negotiations on the details of the contract could officially start only on January 1. Nevertheless, Inter took the opportunity to hold talks with his Onana’s representatives now and they quickly found a common language. Onana recently refused to sign a new contract at Amsterdam, because he wants a new challenge, so at this moment it seems unlikely for the African to stay at the Johan Cruyff Arena.Barcelona and Villarreal have also been interested in Onana in recent weeks, but Inter were the strongest in their intent. However, since nothing has been signed yet, it is not excluded that something could change by the winter transfer window and that Onana may end up at another address.##NAJAVA_MECA_5797305##A reminder, Onana is still serving a suspension due to the use of illicit substances, and he will be able to go onto the pitch from November 4. During the trial, he defended himself by saying that he ingested the drug with the illicit substance furosemide by mistake, but that did not save him from the one-year sentence imposed in February this year. However, after the appeal, his sentence was reduced to nine months.He has been allowed to train with the team again since September 4, although Eric Ten Hag does not want him in the squad. That is why he trains with the Ajax youth team and strangely enough – the club registered him for the group stage of the Champions League.As for Samir Handanovic, he will be 38 next summer, and Inter is currently negotiating (probably) the last contract of his career.
