Although his price exceeds €50 million, Manchester United and Barcelona are interested. The Catalans have even held conversations with the player's entourage. At 22 years old, Amadou Onana has experienced a rapid rise. From his debut in the German second division with Hamburg, through his lightning move to Ligue 1 side LOSC in 2021/22, to his blossoming with Everton, everything has happened very quickly for the Belgian international midfielder .

The former Lille player, who already impressed in his debut with the Toffees, is shining with his own light this season in the Premier League with an Everton team that is not exempt from financial problems and is flirting with the relegation zone after suffering a ten-point penalty. Ambidextrous, physically impressive and very versatile, Amadou Onana is made for the English league.


In Everton's midfield, the Belgian, with an atypical profile, shines and is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. A great dribbler, he performs well in defense, but also in the aerial game, where he can boast of being one of the best in his position in duels at ground level, but also in the air. His brilliant performance last weekend against Burnley - he scored a goal, completed 87% of his passes (26/30), won 78% of his duels (11/14) and collected 4 balls - impressed all of England.


As happened with the LOSC a few months ago, the progression of the insatiable Amadou Onana is going to cause him to leave. And his unique profile is attracting the interest of some of Europe's best clubs, who are not deterred by Everton's asking price of around €55 million. According to our information, Manchester United remains attentive to the performances of the Red Devil, who could make an important contribution to a United midfield that is not in its best form.

The interest from Spain


From Catalonia they are not far behind either, since FC Barcelona is very interested in the Everton midfielder. According to well-informed Catalan sources, the player's representatives have recently contacted Barcelona. However, given the player's price, the club coached by Xavi will have to be patient and wait until next summer, despite the risk of an unexpected departure in the winter market. An unlikely prospect, but a real one, especially considering that other European giants are also lurking in the shadows.
