# Manchester United: Fabrizio Romano shares Martin Dubravka proposal

**[Manchester United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/) have made an “official proposal” for Newcastle United goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, according to [Fabrizio Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1562728487810637824).**

### The Lowdown: Busy end to the window

The Red Devils recently brought in [Casemiro](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manchester-united/transfers/verein/985) from Real Madrid and seemingly have their eye on more additions before the September 1 deadline.

United officials are set to go back in with a new [€94m](https://twitter.com/SkySportsNews/status/1562467014291046400) offer for Ajax winger Antony, while a bid for another unnamed player is also [expected](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/manchester-united-florian-plettenberg-shares-goalkeeper-update/).

The Ajax winger could become the club’s [fifth](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manchester-united/transfers/verein/985) summer signing, and it appears as if Dubravka may also be on the way to Old Trafford.

### The Latest: Dubravka proposal

[Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1562728487810637824) took to Twitter on Thursday morning to provide an update regarding United and Dubravka.

He’s ‘just been told’ that an ‘official proposal’ is a loan deal that also includes an option to buy at around £5m, with Newcastle set to make a decision ‘soon’.

### The Verdict: Smart business?

Dubravka, labelled as [‘top class’](https://twitter.com/Buntingfootball/status/1472585191709462537) by journalist Josh Bunting and dubbed a [leader](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/sport-opinion/mick-quinn-martin-dubravka-not-15353887) by The Chronicle’s Mick Quinn, has been a regular for the Magpies over recent years, making [127](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/martin-dubravka/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/74960) Premier League appearances.

The 33-year-old has been playing second fiddle to Nick Pope this season, but you’d like to think he could get more game time under Erik ten Hag due to United being involved in the Europa League.

A temporary deal with an option to buy makes sense from United’s point of view, so hopefully, this deal can go through relatively quickly.
