Everton has finally accepted Barcelona’s bid for Amadou Onana’s contract.

According to reports, Barcelona is ready to compete with Manchester United for the signing of Amadou Onana,

a midfield player for Everton.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS are reportedly anxious to reinforce the middle of the park during the current summer transfer season;

this requirement will only get more pressing should Christian Eriksen and Casemiro depart.

Teams in the Saudi Pro League are reportedly interested in Casemiro,

while teams like Galatasaray and Ajax are reportedly keeping an eye on his teammate Eriksen.

Furthermore, there’s the minor issue of finding young

Kobbie Mainoo the ideal pivot partner. Herein lies Onana’s role.

The defensive midfielder from Belgium is a ball-winning,

aggressive player who like engaging in duels.

At 6’5″, he has a commanding physical presence and amazing strength,

which come in handy when facing off against other players.

Play is always advanced and passed forward by Onana, a front-footed player.

He is a skilled ball handler and technically gifted.

He made 37 appearances in all for Everton during the 2023–2024 season.

He recorded three goals and one assist during that period,

which is respectable for a star player whose main duty is to make sure the team plays solid defense.

The Peoples Person previously reported that the representatives of the 22-year-old contacted United to find out if they were planning to pursue a move on behalf of their client.

A further source supplemented this information by claiming that the Red Devils had put in a bid of €60 million for him.

It was revealed back in February that Barcelona was no longer interested in acquiring Onana,

with Arsenal and United dominating the chase.

The Daily Mail reports that the Spanish newspaper

Mundo Deportivo claims that the Catalan giants are still interested in bringing the player to Camp Nou.

Onana has been suggested by Hansi Flick’s team as a Joshua Kimmich substitute.

Mikel Merino of Real Sociedad is an additional choice for Barcelona to replace the German.

Merino is more likely to get an approach due of the Blaugrana’s financial limitations.

As The Mail points out,

details on Onana’s final destination will probably become clear once Belgium’s involvement in Euro 2024 concludes.

Nevertheless,

Onana and Belgium play France in the Round of 16,

who are regarded as the favorites to win the tournament.

There is a good possibility that Belgium will be eliminated from the competition.

When Everton signed him in 2022,

they had to pay £34 million.

To break up with the player,

they probably demand a lot more than this amount.
