Gianluigi Donnarumma, the 26-year-old goalkeeper who joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 with a contract until 2026 (following the end of his contract at AC Milan), is at the heart of the rumors. His extension is not forthcoming and there is talk of a departure, with Lucas Chevalier (23, Lille and French national team) set to replace him. ESPN reported this Saturday that Manchester United, Chelsea, and Inter Milan are positioning themselves for an offer.
With such a great goalkeeper on the way out, we expect some attempts. Some might be tempted to wait until he’s free, perhaps Donnarumma is considering it too. But it also risks a difficult season for the goalkeeper, while clubs could see a competitor move up the ladder. Also, the clubs mentioned here are already looking for a goalkeeper, so it would be a shame to miss out.
However, there is nothing concrete yet, and it is unclear who could reach an agreement first with PSG and Donnarumma. It could be a very intense affair in the coming weeks, so let’s wait for certainties.
