Gianluigi Donnarumma’s future at PSG looks uncertain after the club signed Lucas Chevalier. With that move, Donnarumma will likely need to find a new long-term team, and rumors are linking him to Manchester United.
CentreDevils recently reported that Manchester United have held direct talks about signing Donnarumma. The 26-year-old keeper is reportedly a target for Ruben Amorim, who is said to be a big fan.
The report notes that Donnarumma’s experience and talent could be a key addition at Old Trafford as Amorim works on rebuilding the squad this summer. Journalist Ben Jacobs also shared that PSG is asking for £26 million, with Donnarumma having just one year left on his contract after the club decided not to offer an extension.
On Tuesday, RMC Sport’s Fabrice Hawkins reported that Manchester City will monitor Donnarumma if Ederson leaves the club. Negotiations are ongoing with the goalkeeper’s side, and personal terms won’t be an issue as Donnarumma is keen on the move.
Meanwhile, RMC Sport reported Monday that Chelsea and Manchester United have inquired about Donnarumma’s situation. But this case is far from settled; for now, it is just a simple expression of interest from the two English clubs.
On the latest episode of the Ensemble PSG Podcast, Robin Bairner, chief editor at Football Transfers, commented on the rumor linking Donnarumma to Manchester United.
“Well, our understanding at Football Transfers is that Manchester United are naturally interested in a goalkeeper,” Bairner said. “Andre Onana hasn’t been up to the standard that they had expected when they signed him. So naturally, Manchester United step into this equation. Whether Gianluigi Donnarumma is prepared to go to United, where they don’t have European football this year, of course, that’s debatable.
“And of course, there’s a whole heap of sales that Manchester United are likely to have to make now to be able to afford to sign Donnarumma because of financial fair play. They’ve obviously made three big signings now, having announced Sesko. So there are complications there.”
