Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign Senne Lammens, the 23-year-old goalkeeper from Royal Antwerp, for around £18.2 million. Lammens is currently travelling to Manchester to finalize his transfer and undergo a medical, with a five-year contract already agreed[1]. Multiple reports confirm the total deal value as €21 million ($27m) plus add-ons[2].
Lammens, regarded as a “rising star” in Belgian football, impressed with his performances at Antwerp, saving more shots than expected and contributing to one of the best defensive records in Belgium last season. Previously at Club Brugge, his move was prompted by limited opportunities behind Simon Mignolet. Football experts highlight his calm mentality and suggest top clubs have tracked him for years, including Sporting when Ruben Amorim was head coach[1].
