Manchester United are keen to submit an audacious €60 million bid to signal Gianluigi Donnarumma because the Italian worldwide solely has one yr remaining on his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, as per a report.
Fichajes contend the Crimson Devils are “carefully monitoring” the 26-year-old shot stopper as they search to search out Ruben Amorim a substitute for the wildly inconsistent Andre Onana.
Onana, 29 has been linked with a transfer to Saudi Arabia after enduring a depressing marketing campaign at Previous Trafford, having made various high-profile errors this yr.
However this error-strewn method was a continuation of the shaky kind the Cameroonian worldwide demonstrated in his debut season after the £47.2 million transfer from Inter Milan in 2023.
That pricey choice – to maneuver on from long-term stalwart David de Gea to Onana – was sanctioned by Amorim’s predecessor, Erik ten Hag.
The 40-year-old Portuguese coach holds no loyalty to Onana and the emergence of reviews United are actively in search of a brand new goalkeeper this summer time, with hyperlinks to Espanyol’s Joan Garcia and Torino’s Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, suggests Amorim is eager to make a change between the sticks.
However Donnarumma is an formidable goal, even when United discover a purchaser within the Saudi Professional League for Onana.
Nonetheless, the Italian’s deal on the Parc de Princes expires in 2026 and Fichajes reveals “talks to increase his contract haven’t but come to fruition.”
If an settlement can’t be reached, this summer time would represent the final alternative for the Ligue 1 champions to money in on their goalkeeper, as he would be capable to negotiate a free switch from January.
And it’s this glimmer of a chance which Previous Trafford officers are reportedly hoping to use with a tantalising €60 million (£50 million) proposal.
Standing practically 6’5, Donnarumma is an imposing goalkeeper with a formidable presence within the field and excellent shot-stopping, possessing freaky reflexes for a participant so massive.
Whereas he isn’t probably the most comfy with the ball at his toes, he’s sufficiently proficient for PSG supervisor Luis Enrique – a coach who dogmatically chooses approach over physique – to stay with him, such is Donnarumma’s match-winning skills, as this season’s Champions League marketing campaign has demonstrated.
Have been United capable of persuade the Italian to swap Paris for Manchester, whereas Onana heads by way of the exit door at Previous Trafford, it will represent a game-changing improve for Amorim and his workforce.
