Overview

  • PA and ESPN report active club-to-club discussions with Royal Antwerp, with the fee and structure under negotiation in the £17m–€20m range.
  • Fabrizio Romano says personal terms are almost agreed and the player has said yes, though an agreement between clubs is not yet finalized.
  • United intend Lammens to compete with, not replace, André Onana, who is fit to return against Fulham and is expected to remain at the club.
  • Any arrival would place Altay Bayindir’s status in doubt after his error against Arsenal, with Tom Heaton also part of the current goalkeeping group.
  • Inter Milan have shown interest, and Antwerp’s financial pressures provide an incentive to sell, while Onana’s Africa Cup of Nations absence later this season heightens the need for depth.
