Man Utd ready to submit bid today after tempting goalkeeper target with long-term contract offer

Kevin Trapp is inclined to accept the offer that Manchester United will make to him, as Eintracht Frankfurt brace themselves for a bid on Tuesday.

Links between Trapp and Manchester United emerged on Monday. The Germany international is the latest target under consideration to become the Premier League side’s new backup goalkeeper.

He has seemed to be a more realistic target than another option like Yann Sommer, who is keen to keep playing regularly for Borussia Monchengladbach.

Trapp is also a number one at his current club, featuring in 32 out of 34 Bundesliga games last season. However, in contrast to Sommer, it seems he is more inclined to take a step back.

According to Kicker, Trapp ‘wants to accept’ the offer to join Manchester United. The Red Devils have proposed a four-year contract to the 32-year-old and he is keen on it.

For the former Paris Saint-Germain shot-stopper, the opportunity to represent a club as big as Manchester United – despite their recent struggles and the fact he would not be their first choice – would be appealing.

Now, Manchester United must work on convincing Eintracht Frankfurt to sell, which may be a challenge at this stage of the transfer window. The Bundesliga side, it is noted, do not have an experienced backup ready to step up, so would have to enter the market themselves.

However, Manchester United are ready to test their resolve for Trapp with an offer on Tuesday. Per the German source, it will be in the ‘high single-digit million range’ – or in other words, below €10million (£8.4million).

If accepted, it seems Trapp is ready to make the move. In turn, he would become the replacement for Dean Henderson, who joined Nottingham Forest on loan earlier this summer.
