Reasons Revealed: Why Man Utd End Donnarumma Pursuit

Man Utd Cool Interest in Donnarumma Over Astronomical Wage Demands

Manchester United have reportedly pulled out of the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, with his exorbitant salary demands proving to be the main stumbling block.

Despite the club’s well-documented need for a new shot-stopper, sources close to the negotiations indicate that the Italian’s wage expectations far exceed what United is willing to pay.

The Reddevils are now closing in on Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp for £17M.

The 26-year-old, who is reportedly earning an eye-watering salary of around €16 million per year (£265,000 per week) at PSG, is keen on a move to the Premier League.

However, a transfer to Manchester is looking increasingly unlikely as United’s hierarchy is said to be prioritizing financial sustainability over big-name acquisitions this transfer window.

The club has already invested heavily in attacking talent this summer, and the focus has now shifted to balancing the books and avoiding the kind of wage structure issues that have plagued them in the past.
