The international from Cameroon was a key contributor to Inter's third-place finish in Serie A, Coppa Italia victory, and Champions League semifinal appearance last season at the San Siro, playing in 41 games across all competitions.
Mauricio Pochettino, the newly appointed Chelsea manager, is eager to bring in a new number one and thinks Onana would be an excellent choice.
Romelu Lukaku and Kalidou Koulibaly were rumored to be returning for another loan stint at Inter while Onana was headed the other way, according to the Blues.
However, it appears that another English team will now challenge them when the Guardian reported Manchester United are looking at Onana as a potential "challenger to David de Gea."
The Spaniard has been a member of the Red Devils for a long time and is one of the few players still playing today to have won the Premier League at Old Trafford, but his play last season was erratic.
Although he recorded the most clean sheets in the league, he contributed to crucial goals in the FA Cup final and Europa League quarterfinal.
De Gea is believed to have a contract on the table but hasn't signed it. If he did stay in Manchester, the 32-year-old would probably accept a large pay reduction and have a smaller position in the team.
Diogo Costa, a highly regarded goalkeeper for Porto, has been linked to United, although he appears eager to remain in his native Portugal.
If they can get Onana to agree
Following Chelsea's recent rejection of Erik ten Hag's team's 40 million Mason Mount deal, it is now thought improbable that they will sign Harry Kane to address their striker issues.
Their efforts to sign 120 million striker Victor Osimhen have also been hindered by PSG's interest in him.
Victor Hojlund, a highly regarded Danish striker, is the player that United is instead keeping an eye on.
The 20-year-old scored 10 goals for Atalanta last season and has five goals in his first two 2023 international games. He should be available for 86 million.
