André Onana joins list of most expensive goalkeepers of all time.

By Washira Helene

Manchester United have completed the signing of Cameroonian goalkeeper André Onana from Inter Milan for an initial fee of £43.9 million. The deal could rise to £47.4 million in add-ons, making Onana the third-most expensive goalkeeper in history.

Kepa Arrizabalaga remains the most expensive goalkeeper of all time after Chelsea paid Athletic Bilbao £71.6 million for his services in 2018. The Spaniard has struggled to live up to his price tag, but he remains a talented goalkeeper.

Other goalkeepers on the list of most expensive transfers include Alisson Becker (£67 million), Thibaut Courtois (£35 million), Ederson (£34.7 million), and Gianluigi Buffon (£32.6 million).

Onana is a highly-rated goalkeeper who has been capped 26 times by Cameroon. He is known for his agility, reflexes, and shot-stopping ability. He is also a good distributor of the ball and has a strong command of his area.

Onana’s arrival at Manchester United is a major coup for the club. He will provide competition for David de Gea and Dean Henderson for the number one spot. He is also a long-term investment for the club, as he is only 27 years old.
