Manchester United are close to signing Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens for a fee approaching 20m after improving an initial bid around 17m. Multiple sources indicate negotiations have entered the final stretch and a full agreement appears within reach. The 23-year-old Belgian has impressed domestically and looks ready to step up to a more competitive league. Interest from Inter Milan and Galatasaray was noted, but United appear confident. The signing aims to replace Andre Onana and strengthen Ruben Amorim's squad. United have added Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko up front, but early-season results have been poor, increasing pressure on new signings to deliver.
CaughtOffside have consulted multiple sources close to the deal and it seems Man Utd are closing in on an agreement with Antwerp. The Red Devils initially made a bid in the region of 17m for Lammens, but further talks have seen them improve the overall package to closer to 20m. A full agreement is now within reach, one source said. This was confirmed by another, who said: United are on the brink of securing this deal. Negotiations have entered the final stretch.
A new signing to replace Andre Onana was very much needed at Old Trafford this summer, and Lammens looks like a good choice for the club. The talented 23-year-old has caught the eye in his native Belgium and it now looks like he's ready to make the step up to a more competitive league. It will be intriguing to see if Lammens can adapt well to the demands of English football, but it's also hard to imagine him doing much worse than Onana.
