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 contract extension has not materialized, and there is talk of a departure, with Lucas Chevalier (23, Lille and French national team) set to replace him. Caught Offside reported this Monday that Manchester United are indeed on the lookout, while there is a desire to replace André Onana (29).
Sources close to the situation have informed CaughtOffside that Gianluigi Donnarumma is one of the top names on Manchester United’s shortlist. PSG have been negotiating with him for over a year on a new contract. He has decided not to renew his deal, and with only one year left on his contract, PSG have decided to sell him this summer.
Diogo Costa, FC Porto’s captain, is another strong candidate. The 25-year-old keeper dreams of playing in the Premier League, and Manchester United are interested in signing him.
We remain cautious; Donnarumma’s situation is naturally generating numerous rumors, and it’s difficult to get a clear picture. Many clubs have been mentioned, without confirmation or a clear favorite. Not to mention that an extension has not been officially ruled out.
We’ll have to wait and see for ourselves. But we suspect there will be offers if the Italian is indeed on the market this summer.
