Inter Milan President:

“When we heard that Manchester United were interested in Onana, we were hoping for €14 million because Andre had a good season and we reached the Champions League final.

Two days later, we received an official faxed offer of €21 million plus add-ons from Manchester United. We burst out laughing.

I told my assistant to fax him a request for €51 million plus add-ons. I was really joking.

The next morning, Manchester United agreed to pay €51 million.

We made an offer for Yann Sommer for €5 million, which was immediately accepted. We made a profit of €46 million from the sale of Onana.”

I ordered my assistant to open a bottle of tamarind. I felt like we had won the lottery.”
