Andre Onana is close to sealing a new loan move to Trabzonspor, eSPORTY understands.
Talks between the Turkish side and Manchester United are at an advanced stage with all parties looking to finalise the deal, which doesn’t include a buy option.

The 30-year-old linked up with the Turkish side in September 2025 on a season-long loan deal.
His switch to Papara Park came days after he started in the Red Devils’ humiliating Carabao Cup second round defeat away to League Two outfit Grimsby Town.
But despite making a howler shortly into his Trabzonspor debut, he ended up becoming a firm fan favourite.
Onana featured in 29 Turkish top-flight matches – keeping six clean sheets – to help his side finish in third spot.
And he also ensured it was a season to remember after lifting the Turkish Cup as he started in the 2-1 final victory over Konyaspor.
The ex-Inter Milan shot-stopper has recently seen his United salary receive an increase of around 25 per cent due to Michael Carrick’s men securing Champions League qualification.
But while he regained form and confidence on loan, eSPORTY reported in May how they still plan to offload Cameroon international this summer.
Belgium shot-stopper Senne Lammens has been an instant hit at Old Trafford since arriving from Royal Antwerp on deadline day.
Summer switch
Despite rumours that Besiktas are looking to secure Onana’s services, Trabzonsor president Ertugrul Dogan recently declared he is desperate to keep the player at the club.
He has already insisted that personal terms will not be an issue.

Dogan told Ajansspor: “I think Andre Onana will stay with the team, we’ve met his financial demands.
“The fans like him too, he’s a decent bloke, I don’t think we’ll have any problems.
“I don’t think he’ll find the same level of interest in him anywhere else.
“So I think he’ll stay with the team.”
Should Onana depart United, he will follow a host of high-profile names already out the door.
It was confirmed earlier this month how striker Rasmus Hojlund, who joined alongside Onana in 2023, completed a permanent move to Napoli after his loan spell.

Along with Onana and Hojlund, United also named six players that will be departing as free agents when their contracts expire at the end of June.
They include Casemiro, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia, while Marcus Rashford still faces an uncertain future after helping Barcelona win the LaLiga title during his loan stay.
Andre Onana’s Manchester United career
Onana arrived at the Theatre of Dreams from Inter Milan in a ยฃ47.2million deal – one month after the Italian giants lost to Manchester City in the Champions League final.
But despite winning the FA Cup in his opening season in England, Onana was marred by consistent errors.
From his 102 outings across all competitions, he shipped in a whopping 150 goals – keeping just 24 clean sheets.
