BREAKING NEWS: The deal came as a shock to me this morning when the board told me the exact day that I will undergo Man United Medical,I have sacrificed a lot to be part of this Amorim’s project and here I am”, Gianluigi Donnarumma reveals what the board told Him about His planned schedule medical with Man United
Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has confirmed he will leave the club this summer. However, potential suitors Manchester United are steering themselves away from the Italian, who was never overly keen on joining them anyway.
Donnarumma started for PSG as they won last season’s Champions League and reached the final of the Club World Cup. His PSG career is now over though, with Lucas Chevalier joining from Lille and Donnarumma announcing his departure on Tuesday night.
PSG have named their squad for the Super Cup against Tottenham Hotspur, who beat United in the Europa League final in May and Donnarumma isn’t in it. Chevalier has been joined by Matvey Safonov and Renato Marin, with last season’s first choice keeper nowhere to be seen.
His absence has prompted increased talk of a Premier League switch, with United, Manchester City and Chelsea strongly linked with him, with City said the be front-runners according to reports in France.
United, meanwhile, are distancing themselves from reports of their interest. Ruben Amorim’s side have shown ambition by spending £200m on a flurry of attacking talent, but aren’t in Europe this season, something which is a key requirement of Donnarummma’s.
Chelsea had also been linked with Donnarumma, but the Blues are believed to be happy with current keepers Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen. Belgian youngster Mike Penders is also highly regarded in West London, and is spending the current season on loan at Strasbourg.
According to reports in Italy, Galatasaray and Bayern Munich are among the other clubs able to match the Italian’s wage demands. Both clubs are involved in the Champions League, with Gala already flexing their muscles with big contracts for Victor Osimhen and Leroy Sane.
If United did move for Donnarumma, it would likely mean an exit for one of Andre Onana or Altay Bayindir. Turkish keeper Bayindir has played regularly in pre-season as Onana works his way back to full fitness, but the Cameroon international may be ready to return against Arsenal on Sunday.
“For us, it doesn’t matter which team we will play,” Bayindir told club media after helping United beat Fiorentina on penalties on Saturday. “Every game is important in the Premier League. This week, we will work for Arsenal, and then from the Arsenal game, step by step for the next game, we will prepare ourselves.”
