Manchester United Eye Donnarumma Amidst Onana Uncertainty

Red Devils Explore Goalkeeping Overhaul, Paris Saint-Germain Star Emerges as Target

Manchester United are reportedly open to upgrading their goalkeeping position this summer, with Paris Saint-Germain’s Gianluigi Donnarumma identified as a prime candidate. Sources close to PSG indicate the French giants are seeking to move on from the Italian international.

Donnarumma’s Situation at PSG

Paris Saint-Germain has informed **Gianluigi Donnarumma** that he is no longer their undisputed first-choice goalkeeper, following the acquisition of **Lucas Chevalier**. Donnarumma’s contract is set to expire next summer, and he has reportedly rejected multiple renewal offers.

This development has led PSG to pursue **Chevalier** and consider Donnarumma’s departure. While the possibility of him remaining as a backup exists, the club is actively seeking a transfer for the player, with his representatives exploring various options.

United’s Goalkeeping Interest

Manchester United maintain a genuine interest in reinforcing their goalkeeping department, with **Andre Onana**’s future at Old Trafford potentially under review. Talks have reportedly been held regarding Donnarumma, as well as Aston Villa’s **Emiliano Martinez**.

Should Manchester United secure a new number one, they would be open to allowing **Andre Onana** to depart on loan. Sources suggest that the club is tempted by the prospect of signing a goalkeeper considered among the world’s elite.

“Manchester United are open to making changes in their goalkeeping department and Onana is aware. There is a chance to bring in a Donnarumma or Martinez, one of the best keepers in the world, and United are tempted. However, understandably there is a lot of interest in Donnarumma – him being available is something more than just United think is a great opportunity.”

The availability of Donnarumma is attracting significant attention from multiple top clubs across Europe, including Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Inter Milan. Galatasaray has also held discussions regarding his potential transfer.

PSG is believed to be willing to accept a transfer fee in the region of £40 million, or potentially less, to avoid losing the goalkeeper on a free transfer. A significant hurdle for interested clubs remains Donnarumma’s wage demands, which are reportedly in excess of £250,000 per week.

United’s Transfer Activity

Manchester United has been active in the transfer market, securing attacking reinforcements such as **Matheus Cunha**, **Bryan Mbeumo**, and **Benjamin Sesko**. The potential addition of a top-tier goalkeeper like Donnarumma could further bolster their ambitions for the upcoming season. In the 2023-24 Premier League season, Manchester United conceded an average of 1.57 goals per game, highlighting a potential area for improvement (Premier League).
