“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 terrible performance against Liverpool FC in today’s Premier League match, He will Cost Man United Just £45m
Manchester United is reportedly eyeing a move for Lazio’s Ivan Provedel, according to Footballwave. The 29-year-old goalkeeper has established himself as one of Serie A’s top shot-stoppers and recently secured a place in Italy’s national team.
Provedel has gained significant attention this season, particularly for his unique achievement as the highest-scoring goalkeeper in the world.
A standout moment in his career occurred during the Champions League group stage when Provedel netted a crucial late goal to earn Lazio a 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid. His dramatic 96th-minute equalizer was instrumental in helping Lazio advance to the last-16 stage of the competition. This achievement marked only the third time in Champions League history that a goalkeeper has scored from open play.
Provedel’s goal-scoring feats are not new; he previously displayed his scoring abilities while on loan at Juve Stabia in 2020, where he scored a late equalizer against Ascoli. Interestingly, Provedel began his football journey as a striker, amassing 27 goals as a teenager for Pordenone’s youth team during the 2008/09 season before transitioning to a goalkeeper.
Manchester United’s interest in Provedel suggests they might be considering replacing their current goalkeeper, widely regarded as the best in passing, with someone who could be a contender for the title of the best goal-scoring goalkeeper.
However, Lazio’s €35 million asking price for Provedel is a potential obstacle for United during the January transfer window. Nevertheless, the club is expected to keep an eye on him for a possible move in the summer.
Meanwhile, Andre Onana’s time at Manchester United has not lived up to expectations following his €51 million transfer from Inter Milan. Despite an impressive Champions League campaign with Inter, where he topped the clean sheet charts and was praised for his ball-playing skills, Onana has struggled at Old Trafford.
His mistakes, particularly in the Champions League losses to Galatasaray and Bayern Munich, have been glaring.
Manchester United is currently lagging in the Premier League standings and has been knocked out of European competitions and the League Cup.
The potential acquisition of Provedel indicates the club’s intention to bolster key areas of the squad, possibly transforming their goalkeeping department. As they weigh their options, the upcoming summer transfer window will be crucial for United in addressing their squad’s weaknesses and regaining their competitive edge across various competitions.
