“He might be showing signs of improvement but i feel that his inconsistency is very dangerous to the growth of the club. I can’t continue with Onana” – Sad News for Onana As Man United New Owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is replacing Him With Bundesliga Finest Goalkeeper after due to his performance against Arsenal in the recent Friendly match, He will Cost Man United Just £45m
Manchester United is reportedly keen on acquiring Ivan Provedel from Lazio, as revealed by Footballwave. The 29-year-old has established himself as one of Serie A’s top goalkeepers and has recently become a regular for Italy’s national team.
Provedel has gained international recognition this season, particularly as a goalkeeper who has scored a goal. He made headlines in the Champions League group stage by netting a crucial goal in the 96th minute, securing a 1-1 draw for Lazio against Atletico Madrid. This rare feat marked only the third time a goalkeeper has scored from open play in the competition’s history, helping Lazio progress to the last-16 stage.
Provedel’s goal-scoring ability is not new; he previously demonstrated this skill while on loan at Juve Stabia in 2020, scoring a late equalizer against Ascoli. Interestingly, Provedel started his career as a striker, scoring 27 goals for Pordenone’s youth team during the 2008/09 season before transitioning to the goalkeeper role.
Manchester United’s interest in Provedel suggests a possible shift in their goalkeeping strategy, as they consider moving from a goalkeeper known for passing prowess to one noted for goal-scoring capabilities. However, Lazio’s €35 million asking price could be a hurdle for a January move, though United may continue to observe him for a potential summer transfer.
Meanwhile, Andre Onana’s time at Manchester United has been underwhelming. After a €51 million transfer from Inter Milan, where he was celebrated for his ball-playing skills and led the Champions League clean sheet rankings, Onana has struggled at Old Trafford. His performances have been marred by mistakes, especially in key Champions League losses to Galatasaray and Bayern Munich.
Currently, Manchester United is struggling in the Premier League and has been eliminated from European competitions and the League Cup. The interest in Provedel indicates the club’s desire to bolster key positions, potentially reshaping their goalkeeping options. The upcoming summer transfer window will be crucial for United as they aim to address these issues and regain a competitive edge across all competitions.
