Andre Onana: I just couldn't resist this offer
Former Inter keeper Andre Onana has bid farewell to the club and fans, revealing what made him say yes to Manchester United. It is expected that he will finalize his transfer to "Old Trafford" at any moment, which will be for 51+4 million euros. In a special address, the Cameroonian explained that all parties to the deal wanted it to become a fact.
"I want to throw myself into a new challenge, but part of me is sad - he told "Gadzeta delo Sport". - Leaving Inter means I'm leaving my family, not just an ordinary club. I understand that being part of Inter is part of living your life.
It is important to always be honest and tell the truth. I am a person who is always looking for challenges. And to play in the Premier League of England, and for a club like United, is something that cannot be resisted. All parties wanted this deal to happen. But it is important to mention that if I had stayed, I would have been just as happy because I have never had any problems here. Even in Milan I felt a kind of magic that is hard to describe.
I want to use the word "thank you": it is for all the employees at the club, the managers, the coaches, the president, my teammates. But mostly to the fans - I saw that they really loved me. I spent a year here, but I remain an interist forever. Life is unpredictable and who knows… maybe one day I'll be back. In the meantime, I won't stop singing the club anthem that I like so much, Onana finished.
