Manchester United is found to be interested in recruiting Gianluigi Donnarumma.
France's L'Equipe said on the 27th (Korea time) 'Donnarumma's renewal negotiations, which are set to expire in 2026, have not made any progress since the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. Even before the end of the European season, he had unofficially mentioned the possibility of a transfer and, contrary to his official remarks, was understood to have indicated that he was willing to leave.
Manchester United and Manchester City have already been interested in signing Donnarumma since early June and still have him as a candidate. PSG plans to first confirm the acquisition of Luca Schvalier and then allow Donnarumma to be transferred, saying PSG may also send Donnarumma.
Donnarumma is one of the best goalkeepers of the current era representing Italy. He is a talent who has been attracting attention on the European stage since he was young. Born in 1999, he made his first-team debut for AC Milan at the age of 16, making him one of the youngest goalkeepers in Italian Serie A history. He quickly became Milan's main goalkeeper based on his stable defense, excellent reflexes, and tall stature, and he was consistently selected for the Italian national team.
The competition in which Donnarumma began to be recognized as the world's best gatekeeper was Euro 2020. Donnarumma, who performed impressively throughout the tournament, kept England's kickers out of the final penalty shootout to give Italy a win. Despite being a goalkeeper, Donnarumma made his name as a world class by winning the MVP of the tournament.
Even after moving to PSG, Donnarumma's skills remain. Some say that PSG coach Luis Enrique's foot skills are not at the level he wants, but he played a major role in leading PSG's treble with a decisive save. However, Donnarumma and PSG are suffering in the process of renewing their contracts.
Both Manchester United and Manchester City are agonizing over the goalkeeper. Manchester United, who have lost a lot of trust in Andre Onana, and Coach Hoobeng Amorim are looking for a new goalkeeper. Actually moved to sign Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez. If Donnarumma is really willing to leave, Manchester United are not going to miss this opportunity.
Man City confirmed Ederson's decline. Ederson is also willing to leave, but so far, it is understood that Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, wants to protect Ederson. It is unclear whether Manchester City will really move because Donnarumma is superior in defense, but Guardiola is disappointed in his ability to see the most important thing when evaluating the goalkeeper. Manchester City is already in the process of recruiting James Trafford, so it is likely that they will try not to spend a lot of money on Donnarumma.
