Gianluigi Donnarumma’s future at Paris Saint-Germain is increasingly uncertain, with his agent fueling speculation of a potential move. Enzo Raiola has publicly discussed the goalkeeper’s situation, suggesting his relationship with the French club is nearing its end. PSG’s actions, including the signing of Lucas Chevalier and Luis Enrique’s decision to exclude Donnarumma from the UEFA Super Cup squad, have intensified the rumors. A Premier League switch could be on the cards.
Premier League emerges as possible destination for Gianluigi Donnarumma
Donnarumma is in the final year of his contract, and negotiations for an extension have stalled. The exact reasons for the impasse remain unclear, potentially involving financial disagreements or a conflict between the Italian player and Luis Enrique. Consequently, a departure seems likely, with PSG expected to demand a significant transfer fee for the Champions League-winning goalkeeper. Donnarumma has reportedly expressed a desire to play in the Premier League, a sentiment now publicly echoed by his agent, Raiola.
Fabrizio Romano shared Raiola’s comments on X, highlighting both his criticism of PSG and his suggestion that the Premier League could be Donnarumma’s next destination. Raiola stated, “Premier League is the right step for Gigio in my view, we’re working on it. There are zero talks with Italian clubs. We are still shocked by PSG’s behaviour with Gigio”.
Manchester United’s interest in the PSG goalkeeper
Manchester United had previously been considered a leading contender for Donnarumma. However, their plans may have shifted, as they now seem inclined to continue with Andre Onana as their first-choice goalkeeper. Meanwhile, Manchester City have emerged as a potential suitor, reportedly agreeing to personal terms with Donnarumma, suggesting a deal could be close. However, Pep Guardiola may need to offload current goalkeepers first.
Manchester City considering changes in goalkeeper position
Manchester City‘s pursuit of Donnarumma could lead to significant changes in their goalkeeping department. While they recently signed James Trafford from Burnley and initially planned to let Stefan Ortega leave, the potential arrival of Donnarumma indicates that Ederson Moraes might also be on his way out. As a result, Manchester City are evaluating their options as they decide who will be their number one.
The situation surrounding Gianluigi Donnarumma remains fluid, but his agent’s comments have made it clear that a Premier League move is a distinct possibility. Whether Manchester United or Manchester City will ultimately secure his signature remains to be seen, but the coming weeks could prove decisive in shaping the Italian’s next chapter.
