Manchester United will definitely add another new player in the final stage of the summer window, and 23-year-old Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens has agreed to join. The club is in final talks with Real Antwerp on transfer fees, which demands a price of 25 million euros.

Manchester United allegedly hopes to officially announce Ramens' transfer by this weekend, and he may even make his debut at Old Trafford before his Premier League home match against Burnley on Saturday afternoon, just like Seshko before. Italian transfer expert Fabricio Romano confirmed that negotiations between the clubs have been very in-depth and the players have reached an agreement.

Romano said: "Ramens has accepted a long-term contract from Manchester United, whose salary is much lower than the rumored demands of Paris Saint-Germain Donnarumma or Aston Villa Emiliano Martinez, which may explain why United did not choose those two and decided to bring him in."

He explained the final issue that the negotiations still need to be resolved: "Ramens wants to transfer to Manchester United, which is why he lost to Antwerp's roster over the weekend. What will happen next? The negotiations between the two clubs are progressing rapidly, with the initial discussion of the transfer fee of about 17 €0 million, plus additional terms, and finally a transfer plan of €20 million was reached. "

"But Antwerp hopes to raise the price to €25 million to complete the deal. The valuation gap is not big, especially Ramons is eager to join the Red Devils coached by Amorin to realize his dream. All parties expect to reach an agreement before the deadline."

"Athletics Network" reported that Manchester United originally planned to introduce new goalkeepers only if at least one of the two goalkeepers, Andre Onana or Altay Baindir, left the team. However, with the situation where the team's goalkeeper's weakness caused points to be lost after the Premier League starts, Amorin asked to strengthen the goalkeeper's equipment in advance, which was recognized by senior management.

Laury Whitwell revealed that everyone from Amorin to Ineos executives has realized that potential issues in the goalkeeper link must be resolved as soon as possible. This is not surprising, because even ordinary fans can feel this urgency, Onana and Baindir have their own problems, and their age determines that essential changes are no longer possible.

He analyzed: "This represents a change and a development for Manchester United. Onana is not sold, and I don't expect he will leave this summer and will continue to stay at Manchester United. But Manchester United still decided to introduce a goalkeeper because Amorin and all the senior executives, including Sir Jim Ratcliff, think they need to solve this problem. I think the reason they decided to introduce a goalkeeper who has been paying attention to is to see if his joining can improve Onana's strength or whether Lamons will become the first choice." Ideally, the arrival of the Belgian goalkeeper may push Onana to improve himself because he will meet stronger, real competitors in the starting position. If Onana wants to keep the No. 1 goalkeeper position, he needs to keep working hard to perform well. Manchester United also believes that the acquisition of Lamons is a low-cost and does not undermine the balance of the compensation structure.

Onana is a Cameroon international and needs to leave the team to participate in the African Cup of Nations at the end of the year. This is also an important reason why Manchester United decided to buy the new goalkeeper directly. In addition, former Italian goalkeeper Antonio Fontana pointed out that Onana was "unpopular" among his teammates because he likes to show off and likes to chase the limelight.
