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, French national team) arriving from Lille to replace him. Diaro AS claims that Manchester United and Chelsea are on the lookout after the player was sidelined for the match against Tottenham in the European Super Cup. Fabrizio Romano and Ben Jacobs confirm that the player’s future lies away from Paris, whether this summer or on a free transfer next year.
“In the last few hours, Chelsea and Manchester United have made initial contact to inquire about Donnarumma’s situation.
The two English clubs have asked the goalkeeper’s entourage to quickly analyze the feasibility of a transfer.
Both clubs are to Donnarumma’s liking, and he has made no secret of his attraction to the English league in private conversations over the past few months.

Ben Jacobs:
The divorce between Paris Saint-Germain and Gianluigi Donnarumma appears complete. The arrival of Lucas Chevalier (23) as the new number one has led to the Italian goalkeeper being left out of the squad to face Tottenham in the UEFA Super Cup. It’s a strong decision that sends a clear signal: Paris is preparing for a future without him. Behind the scenes, Chelsea and Manchester United have already approached his camp to assess the feasibility of a transfer as early as this summer.
Donnarumma, long attracted to the Premier League, would welcome a swift move. While the outcome is not yet finalized, the trend is clear: the Euro 2021 champion is expected to leave Paris no later than next summer, leaving a gap in experience in PSG’s goal. Yet another tough exit for a Paris player in the QSI era — one that perhaps could have been handled with more finesse.
