Manchester United Invest in Future with €21m Capture of Goalkeeper Senne Lammens
MANCHESTER, England – Manchester United have secured the signing of highly-rated Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp in a deal worth an initial €21 million, with the potential for the fee to rise further through add-ons.
The 23-year-old has signed a long-term contract at Old Trafford after completing a medical earlier this week. The transfer was finalized following a period of sustained monitoring by United’s recruitment department, who identified Lammens as a prime target to bolster the club’s goalkeeping options for the future.
Lammens arrives in Manchester having established himself as one of the most promising shot-stoppers in the Belgian Pro League. Renowned for his composure with the ball at his feet, commanding presence in the area, and sharp reflexes, he is viewed as a significant long-term investment.
The move provides new manager Ruben Amorim with increased depth and competition in a key position. While André Onana is firmly established as the first choice, Lammens’ arrival signals a strategic move to build a robust squad capable of challenging on all fronts.
Having represented Belgium at various youth levels, Lammens is now poised to take the next step in his development within the Premier League. The structured nature of the deal, which includes performance-related clauses, reflects United’s belief that his current ability and high potential ceiling can make him a key figure for the club in the years to come.
This signing aligns with the club’s refreshed transfer strategy under new sporting director Dan Ashworth, focusing on identifying and acquiring emerging talent to build a sustainable foundation for future success.
