According to The Athletic, MU has reached personal agreement with goalkeeper Senne Lampens of Royal Antwerp, but has not yet closed the transfer fee.
The source from The Athletic said: “MU has reached a personal agreement with Senne Lampens. However, they have not yet agreed on the transfer fee with Royal Antwerp, and the negotiation is still happening. MU is also negotiating about Emiliano Martinez with Aston Villa.”
Earlier, The Athletic also reported that before the summer transfer window was about to close on September 1, MU conducted urgent negotiations with Emiliano Martinez. Accordingly, the Argentinian goalkeeper agreed to personal terms with MU, facilitating MU to approach Aston Villa and negotiating transfer.
Martinez even officially expressed his view to MU. On the morning of September 1, Aston Villa “implicitly defines the future of Martinez when he let him sit on the bench in a 0-3 defeat to Crystal Palace.
Continuous information shows that MU is not really clear in choosing people. Coach Ruben Amorim's team only needs a goalkeeper but they are saying with both of them, even agreeing to personal terms with both goals.
Now, in the last hours of the transfer period, which team accepts the price that MU offers, they will sign a contract with that goalkeeper. Martinez is highly appreciated for its experience in the English Premier League and once won the 2022 World Cup.
However, Lambens has a younger advantage and is the one who has been hunted by talented experts Jacek Kulig as “extraordinary”. Even so, people also have concerns because they have never played in the Premier League or a big tournament is the minus point of Lampens.
