Inter Milan has turned down a €40 million offer from Chelsea for Andre Onana, as the Italian club is demanding a higher fee for the goalkeeper.
In a bid to reinforce their squad ahead of the upcoming season, Chelsea Football Club has had a substantial offer of €40 million for goalkeeper Andre Onana rejected by Italian giants Inter Milan. The Serie A outfit, however, stands firm in their valuation of the talented shot-stopper and demands a higher fee for his services.
According to reputable sources , Inter Milan’s CEO, Giuseppe Marotta, has made it clear that the current offer from Chelsea falls short of their expectations. While the Nerazzurri are open to parting ways with the 27-year-old in order to generate much-needed funds, they remain resolute in securing a deal that reflects his true market value.
The rejection of Chelsea’s bid arrives at a crucial juncture in Inter Milan’s campaign, as they find themselves on the verge of a historic UEFA Champions League final.
In their recent semi-final first-leg victory over arch-rivals AC Milan, it is worth noting that all four players involved in the goals and their goalkeeper, Andre Onana, were astutely acquired at no transfer cost, highlighting the club’s shrewdness in the transfer market.
The Blues will still be on the hunt for quality Goalkeepers to replace Edouard Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga.
