Man Utd and the four teams who want to sign Donnarumma

Man Utd have reportedly opened talks to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma but there are four other teams who want the PSG goalkeeper.

Donnarumma is now expected to leave PSG this summer as amidst difficulties over renewing his contract that expires in 2026, the European champions have made the decision to sign Lucas Chevalier from Lille.

The decision to sign Chevalier has led to a surge of interest in Donnarumma around Europe and the Middle East.

According to the Corriere dello Sport and other outlets, Man Utd have opened talks with Donnarumma’s entourage over the week.

Which clubs want to sign Donnarumma?

The Corriere says that Man Utd are the favourites for Donnarumma and see him as the successor to the under-performing Andre Onana.

But United are not the only club who want the Italian superstar.

TuttomercatoWeb claim that Galatasaray want to follow up their swwops for Victor Osimhen and Leroy Sane by bringing in Donnarumma.

Donnarumma is currently paid €12m per season in Paris and Galatasaray will more than match that.

Sport Zone says that Galatasaray, as well as Al-Ittihad, have offered Donnarumma €20m per season to join their clubs.

Chelsea and Manchester City are also reported to have made enquiries for Donnarumma, even if the latter just completed the purchase of James Trafford from Burnley.

The Italian is arguably the best goalkeeper in the world right now after a series of sensational performances in the Champions League triumph this past season.

Donnarumma played a pivotal role in PSG winning the tournament with decisive performances on their run to the final.

Against Liverpool in the last-16, Donnarumma made two big saves in the penalty shootout from Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones to take PSG through.

Against Aston Villa in the next round, he performed a series of impossible saves to prevent a stirring second leg comeback in Birmingham.

And then in the semi-final success over Arsenal, Donnarumma made four miraculous saves – two in each leg – to ensure PSG won both legs and 3-1 on aggregate.

In the final itself, Donnarumma had little to do as PSG thrashed Inter 5-0 in Munich.

Having debuted at the age of 16, Donnarumma already has 10 years of experience and over 400 club appearances under his belt for Milan and PSG.

He also has been capped 74 times for Italy, winning Player of the Tournament at Euro 2020 as the Azzurri won the trophy.

He has a particularly impressive record against English teams and on English soil, most memorably in the Euro 2020 final shootout win against England.
