Manchester United are pushing ahead with plans to strengthen their goalkeeping department, as Fabrizio Romano reports the club have entered advanced talks to sign Royal Antwerp’s Senne Lammens.
The 23-year-old Belgian shot-stopper has already given his approval to join the Red Devils, with negotiations now underway between United and Antwerp. A package worth around €20 million is being discussed, although no final agreement has been reached at this stage.
Lammens, who came through Club Brugge’s youth academy before moving to Antwerp, is regarded as one of Belgium’s most promising young goalkeepers. Standing tall between the posts with sharp reflexes and composure under pressure, he has quickly caught the eye of scouts across Europe. Manchester United, keen to build for the future, see him as a long-term investment who could develop into a first-team regular at Old Trafford.
While United currently have André Onana as their undisputed number one, manager Erik ten Hag is understood to be seeking more depth and competition in the squad. With questions remaining over the futures of backup options such as Altay Bayındır and Tom Heaton, the addition of Lammens would add both youth and potential to the club’s goalkeeping setup.
