Gianluigi Donnarumma will leave Paris St Germain having won every major accolade at the French club after being informed by Luis Enrique that he had no future at the Ligue 1 and Champions League winners. It is understood that both Chelsea and Manchester United are looking to sign the Italian number 1, and a fee of 85 million euros has been mentioned.

Chelsea are looking to balance the books this summer having made some major signings, but with the departure of Nicolas Jackson looking increasingly likely, the Blues will be able to acquire Donnarumma.

The Italian went to Instagram to announce his departure: “To the special Paris fans, from the first day I arrived, I gave everything – on and off the pitch – to earn my place and defend the goal of Paris Saint-Germain. 

“Unfortunately someone has decided that I can no longer be part of the group and contribute to the team’s success. I am disappointed and disheartened.”

Inter Milan could also present a late offer, and Donnarumma’s agent Enzo Raiola will open talks with several clubs today after receiving the green light from the player.
