The summer transfer window has been thrown a major curveball, with superstar goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma now set to leave Paris Saint-Germain. According to the latest reports from multiple outlets, the Italian international has already made his preference clear: he wants to join Manchester United.
This stunning development comes as PSG have reportedly deemed the 26-year-old “surplus to requirements” and are actively looking to sell him this summer. The French champions are now expecting official offers for their number one, with Chelsea and Inter Milan also named as potential destinations alongside United.
However, according to the Mirror Football, Donnarumma has already made his decision amid the interest. He wants a move to Old Trafford to be a key part of Ruben Amorim’s new project. This puts Manchester United in a commanding position to secure the signature of one of the world’s best goalkeepers.
The timing of this news is perfect for the Red Devils. Manager Ruben Amorim has made signing a new top-class goalkeeper a priority for the club, and they recently failed with an approach for Aston Villa’s Emi MartÃnez. The sudden availability of a player like Donnarumma, who is keen on the move, presents a dream scenario for United’s recruitment team.
United’s path to his signature is made even clearer by the actions of their rivals. Manchester City, who were also previously linked with the Italian, have already agreed a deal to sign James Trafford, effectively taking them out of the race for any other top goalkeeper.
A massive transfer is now firmly on the horizon. With PSG ready to sell, the player wanting the move, and Manchester United in desperate need of a world-class goalkeeper, all the pieces are in place. The focus will now shift to the negotiations between the two clubs to finalize what would be one of the biggest signings of the summer.
