According to reports, Manchester United is close to acquiring Urawa Red Diamonds custodian Zion Suzuki.

What recent news regarding transfers at Man United?

Erik ten Hag and the Red Devils are getting ready for the upcoming campaign, and Mason Mount has already been announced as the first summer addition. The midfielder signed a five-year contract with Manchester after leaving Premier League rivals Chelsea at a fee of £60 million.

Given that David de Gea’s contract expires at the end of June, it appears as though Mount could be the first of several players to leave Old Trafford.

Andre Onana of Inter Milan has been closely associated with a move to reconnect with Ten Hag after their time together at Ajax. The international player from Cameroon is eager to join Manchester United if a transfer fee can be worked out, and personal details have already been worked out between the player and the Red Devils.

Man United’s initial offer of €40 million plus €5 million in add-ons was turned down by Inter Milan, but it appears that their pursuit of Suzuki is going more smoothly.

According to a Sponichi update for Man United and Suzuki, a surprising move to England is almost complete after an official £5 million bid was made.

The custodian is thought to have been on the radar of the Red Devils since 2017. Should a £5 million deal go through, it would set a new record exit from the J League, surpassing the £4.5 million Celtic paid for Kyogo Furuhashi. A agreement is apparently close to being reached as the negotiations appear to be going well.
Zion Suzuki: Who is he?

Suzuki was actually born in the United States of America and is 20 years old. However, he has played for his present employers in 28 senior matches and has been listed with Urawa Red Diamonds for a number of seasons.

Suzuki will have his contract with Urawa Red Diamonds expire early in the following season. The custodian has played for Japan at the youth level and, if he so chooses, can also represent Ghana.

Suzuki is referred to as “one of the most exciting goalkeeping prospects coming out of Japan” by the media. He makes passes that, if they were made by Ederson, would be spoken about for weeks. His distribution is amazing. Therefore, he might be a perfect addition to Old Trafford with someone like Onana, who is anticipated to become a star in the future.

Tom Heaton would be United’s lone senior option if De Gea finds a new team and Dean Henderson signs with Nottingham Forest, as has been rumoured. That demonstrates how Ten Hag might benefit from having more than one custodian available heading into his second season as manager, especially with the Red Devils back in the Champions League.

Who knows, Onana might be the starter with Suzuki taking second-fiddle in domestic cup competitions. Suzuki, who is aiming to improve his game at Carrington in preparation for a long-term future at Old Trafford, might be on the move any day now.
