The 26-year-old custodian will be joining the three-time European champions following the expiration of his contract with Dutch giants Ajax Amsterdam.

He returned from a year's ban and has been slowly but gradually reclaiming his position as one of the top custodians in the sport with Bayern Munich icon Oliver Kahn backing him to make the world his oyster in the coming years.

Onana was in post in an eventful star-studded charity game held at the San Siro on Monday night, the Integration Heroes charity match organised by Cameroon Football Federation president Samuel Eto'o.

The soon-to-be Inter Milan goalie helped his nation secure a World Cup berth and has been named in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers squad by head coach Rigobert Song.

German legend Oliver Kahn tips Andre Onana to be world's best goalkeeper in the coming years

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that ex-Bayern Munich and German goalkeeper Oliver Kahn reckon Andre Onana could become the best goalkeeper in the world.

Kahn, one of only two goalkeepers to finish on the Balon d'Or podium in the last 40 years, is an admirer of the Cameroonian shot-stopper and believes with consistency Onana will be the best in his position.

Onana, whose current deal with Ajax runs out at the end of the season, will join Serie A giants Inter Milan.
