Barcelona made an inquiry for €30 million-rated goalkeeper on deadline day

As per reports from Mike Verweij from de Telegraaf, Barcelona enquired about Andre Onana on the deadline day of the summer transfer window.

Ajax had a busy summer window this term, and on the final day of the transfer window, the Dutch side had at least three players whose future is uncertain. One amongst them is Onana. 

The goalkeeper now reportedly received interest from two sides in La Liga. Apart from Barcelona, Villareal, too, are said to be keeping tabs on the player. Nevertheless, a move this late in the window was tabbed as unlikely.

Moreover, Barcelona is well covered in the goalkeeper department. Marc-Andre ter Stegen made his return from surgery against Getafe and seemed fit to continue as the first choice in between the sticks. 

On the bench, the Catalans still have Neto, who had a decent run in the preseason. Though he was shaky in the opening two games in the league, he has been a reliable backup to the German. 

Needless to say, Barcelona also have available the services of Inaki Pena and Arnau Tenas. The young La Masians have been pushing for a more prominent role for a while now. Their presence in the squad gives the Blaugranas incredible strength in the department. 

Onana, meanwhile, has had his doping ban reduced to nine months and should be available to play from November. The Ajax player tested positive for Furosemide, a drug banned for its ability to mask the presence of other drugs. Now, with his return near, his move away from Amsterdam could materialize.
