Gianluigi Donnarumma, the 26-year-old goalkeeper who arrived at 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 years old, Lille and French national team) to replace him. Despite the insistence of certain English media, no contact is underway between the Italian, Manchester United or Chelsea, as stated by the source Fabrizio Romano. The goalkeeper’s contractual situation is attracting attention, but nothing concrete has been put forward.
While the British press names Manchester United as the frontrunner to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma, the reality appears to be far more nuanced. Although it is true that Paris Saint-Germain is internally preparing for a potential future without their Italian goalkeeper (under contract until 2026) by targeting Lucas Chevalier, there are currently no concrete offers or advanced negotiations with either Manchester United or Chelsea.
The Italian, a key figure at PSG since 2021 thanks to his commanding presence and decisive saves, remains a major asset for the club. However, uncertainty surrounds his future, as PSG is keen to avoid a repeat of the Kylian Mbappé situation — letting a star leave for free — and would prefer to benefit financially from any potential transfer.
At this stage, caution is advised: interest from English clubs does exist, but no official approaches have been made, and Fabrizio Romano has denied any ongoing discussions. Donnarumma’s future, at 26 years old, remains a topic of speculation — but no significant progress has been made so far.
