Amorin bought 6 people in the summer window! Onana may leave the team in the summer window, and 40 million French goalkeepers succeeded

Manchester United ushered in a glimmer of hope in signings this summer - Ligue 1 powerhouse Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier publicly stated that he hopes to enter the Premier League in the future. According to multiple sources, his transaction to Old Trafford is progressing rapidly and is very likely to become one of the important signings in the Red Devils' summer window.

Ruben Amorin, who currently takes charge of Manchester United coaching, is facing the dual challenges of rebuilding the tactical system and reshaping the lineup. If he wants to lead the Red Devils back to the top of the Premier League and European football, he will have to make drastic adjustments this summer. Although the UEFA Cup may still win a possible championship glory for the team, Manchester United is now only ranked 16th in the Premier League standings, which shows how the team's overall condition is sluggish.

It is reported that Amorin has locked in multiple reinforcement positions - at least two forwards, two midfielders, a right wingback, and even a potential new goalkeeper. Since former coach Ten Hach spent £43.8 million to introduce Onana, the Cameroonian goalkeeper's performance has been ups and downs, which also made Amorin doubtful and once wanted to clean up the former Inter goalkeeper. The 23-year-old Schwarier is in full form this season. Not only does he firmly occupy the position of Lille's main goalkeeper, but he is also successfully selected for the French national team. He spoke out in an interview with the French Professional Football League (UNFP) awards ceremony: "The Premier League is every player's dream league, and it is the most attractive. When you see Tottenham and Manchester United still struggling in a league full of top players, you know how fierce the competition is."

Although Schalvalier has not received a formal offer from England, he has not closed the transfer door. He said: "I have two years contract with the club, and you also know the attitude of our boss... Although there is no specific offer at present, this idea is really exciting." According to reports, Lille's psychological price for Shevalier is 40 million euros (about 33.7 million pounds). Considering that his current weekly salary is only 20,000 pounds, such a salary level is likely to prompt players to actively promote transfers. What's more, Premier League teams provide much higher salary levels than Lille. Manchester United's scout team has been paying close attention to Schwarier. He played a brave role in the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 final against Dortmund. Although the team was eliminated 2-3 in the end, his performance impressed the Red Devils.

However, whether Manchester United can sign Schalillier in the end still depends on Onana's stay or not. Onana has three years left in the current contract, and he recently bought a £3.5 million mansion in Hale Barnes Village, Altriham, and seems to have no intention of leaving the team in the short term. There are also differences within the club about the adjustment of the goalkeeper's position, and the final fate of this deal is not yet clear.

At the same time, Manchester United has also made breakthroughs in other transfer goals. It is reported that Manchester City youth training forward Liam Delap has regarded Manchester United as his preferred destination this summer, and the Red Devils have made substantial progress in introducing him. In addition, Manchester United is actively evaluating three midfield recruits, one of which has been "approved" by Amorin.

Lucas Schwarier is known as the fast-rise French goalkeeper. He was born in November 2001, 1.88 meters tall, joined Lille youth training at the age of 10. He won the championship for the team in 2020/21. He played for Lille's first team for the first time in 2022. He saved a penalty a few weeks later, helped the team defeat Lens 1-0, played 6 times for the French U21, and was selected for the 2024 Olympic lineup. In October 2024, the Champions League scored a clean opponent against Real Madrid and won 9 points and scored 9 points for the Team News. He was named the best goalkeeper in Ligue 1 this season, defeating Donnarumma and Ruli, and was selected for the French adult national team for the first time in November 2024.
