PSG Names Donnarumma Asking Price Amid Man Utd Interest

Manchester United Target Gianluigi Donnarumma as PSG Push for Sale

Manchester United have been handed a significant boost in their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, with reports suggesting the Italian is open to a move to Old Trafford.

This comes as the French champions reportedly value the goalkeeper at in excess of £30 million and prefer to sell him this summer rather than risk losing him for free in a year’s time.

According to football journalist Ben Jacobs, Donnarumma is content to see out the final year of his contract with PSG, but the club is keen to cash in now.

The situation has intensified with PSG’s impending signing of Lucas Chevalier from Lille, a move that would challenge Donnarumma’s position as the undisputed number one.

Manchester United’s interest in the Euro 2020 winner is said to be “very strong,” and Donnarumma is reportedly “open to the idea” of a summer transfer as he seeks a new challenge.

This potential transfer could provide a solution to Manchester United’s ongoing goalkeeping situation, which has seen current number one Andre Onana come under pressure following a season of mixed performances.

While the Italian goalkeeper is reportedly happy to stay and fight for his place in Paris, PSG’s preference to sell and avoid a free transfer next summer could be the key factor that pushes a deal through.

The reported valuation of over £30 million for the 26-year-old goalkeeper with just one year left on his contract indicates PSG’s determination to recoup a significant fee for the highly-rated shot-stopper.

A potential transfer for Donnarumma would represent a major statement of intent from the Old Trafford club, securing a world-class goalkeeper and potentially signaling a new era between the sticks.
