When the Italian team plays Manchester City in Istanbul on Saturday, they will be attempting to win the Champions League for the first time in 13 years.


Onana could start for Simone Inzaghi's team tomorrow after being seen in practice today in advance of the game.


Numerous rumors regarding the goalkeeper's future in Milan have surfaced over the last month. According to Mail Sport, the London club intends to start negotiations with the 27-year-old this summer, and Mauricio Pochettino has given the club the go-ahead to sign him.


And it appears that they haven't been hanging around, as Todd Boehly's team reportedly "had a £40 million offer for the goalkeeper rejected" according to TuttoMercatoWeb.

The Cameroonian international, who was passed over for the 2022 World Cup, has played a key role in Inzaghi's team this season, making 40 appearances and recording 19 shutouts.

They must demonstrate their superiority on Saturday, he said, adding that they are perhaps the finest team in the world. We'll be there to uphold Inter's honor and make history. Although it won't be simple, they must prove they are the best.
