Man Utd Nears £17m Senne Lammens Goalkeeper Signing from Royal Antwerp

Manchester United are close to signing Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp, with negotiations reportedly reaching an advanced stage and a transfer fee around £17 million plus add-ons being discussed. The 23-year-old, regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in Belgian football, has agreed on personal terms with United, and his omission from Antwerp's recent squad suggests his departure is imminent. Despite having goalkeepers André Onana, Altay Bayındır, and Tom Heaton, United seek a more reliable option after defensive struggles last season, with Lammens standing out for his impressive save rate and goals prevented metric in the Belgian Pro League. Other clubs like Galatasaray, Inter Milan, and Lille have shown interest in Lammens, but Manchester United appear to be the frontrunners. The transfer is part of a broader Premier League summer window rush, with other clubs actively pursuing marquee signings before the deadline. Lammens’ arrival is expected to bolster United’s goalkeeping options, with Onana likely to remain despite previous inconsistencies.
