Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag wants Andre Onana through the door before the rest of his squad return to pre-season training next week.
The Dutchman's squad return to training on Monday, which is a week before most other Premier League clubs.
Ten Hag wants to hit the ground running next term and to ensure that happens he wants his transfer business done early.
United have been frustrated in their attempts to sign Mason Mount from Chelsea, with the Blues declining three offers from United.
But there's now an even bigger concern over signing a goalkeeper, following news that United retracted a contract offer to David De Gea after he signed a contract.
The Spaniard therefore looks set to leave the club after 12 years at Old Trafford when his contract expires on July 1st.
Inter's sporting director, Piero Ausilio, is in England to discuss a deal with United and Gazzetta dello Sport say a deal can be reached by Friday if United submit a bid of around £43m.
That's music to the ears of Ten Hag, who wants the goalkeeper signed before his squad return to Carrington next week.
De Gea has offers on the table from Saudi Arabia but it remains to be seen whether he could remain at Old Trafford to compete with Onana.
