Man City Get Good News as Man Utd Eye £17M Plan B to PSG Standout

Gianluigi Donnarumma’s future at PSG remains uncertain after the arrival of Lucas Chevalier. The 26-year-old goalkeeper is reportedly looking for a long-term move, with Manchester United, Manchester City, and Chelsea all monitoring the situation closely.

According to a previous report from L’Équipe, Donnarumma has already reached an agreement with Manchester City and even held direct talks with Pep Guardiola. Adding another twist, Fabrizio Romano reported that Galatasaray are interested in Ederson, a move that could potentially pave the way for Donnarumma’s transfer to the Etihad.

Chelsea and Manchester United have also made early approaches, RMC Sport notes, though those discussions are still in the early stages. Manchester City, however, are widely seen as the frontrunner as the summer transfer window nears its end.

In his latest column for CaughtOffside, journalist Alfredo Pedulla revealed the latest regarding Manchester City’s interest in Gianluigi Donnarumma. Moreover, Pedulla notes that manager Pep Guardiola has his heart set on the Italian, whether he gets him this summer or as a free agent next year.

“Guardiola wants Donnarumma even if it means waiting to get him on a free transfer, moving before the competitors,” Pedulla wrote. “In these last two weeks of the summer transfer window, the goal is to find a solution that benefits both sides, including PSG, who would save on his huge wages, knowing that in just a few months, they’d earn nothing from a free transfer.”
