Inter are plotting a move to sign Ajax’s Cameroonian goalkeeper Andre Onana on a free transfer next summer to replace Samir Handanovic, according to a report in the Italian print media.

Andre Onana was a key part of Ajax’s impressive Champions League run in 2018/19 when they were one kick away from reaching the final against Liverpool. Players such as Matthijs De Ligt, Donny Van der Beek and Frenkie de Jong were part of that squad that has since been largely broken up.
