It seems that it is impossible to become a reality: Gianluigi Donnarumma can break up with PSG this summer. Here are 5 potential destinations for former AC Milan goalkeeper, when he is receiving great attention from all over Europe.
According to the Telegraph, Man United sent a request to buy Donnarumma early in the summer and expected to return to the negotiation table in the near future. Andrre Onana has experienced a stormy season at Old Trafford since moving from Inter Milan, making his future a big question mark.
Whether MU's ability to recruit Donnarumma depends largely on whether or not to keep Onana, another factor to consider is: Will the Italian goalkeeper want to go to a team not to attend the European Cup next season?
The goalkeeper problem was one of the hot topics at Chelsea last season, when Robert Sanchez was constantly criticized. The BLD West London is said to have followed the Donnarumma for a long time, and considers it a valuable opportunity in the transfer market.
However, the biggest barrier for Chelsea is the salary structure. Donnarumma is said to have a very high level, and the Blues is currently very cautious in controlling the salary fund after the years of “spending money” under the Todd Boehly.
The Turkish championship is very eager to recruit a large goalkeeper after the legendary Fernando Muslera broke up the club after 14 years of attachment. Galatasaray has not found a worthy replacement and Donnarumma has emerged as a top candidate.
After completing the purchase of Victor Osimhen, Galatasaray will move the focus to the goalkeeper position. Financially, they are fully capable of meeting Donnarumma's requirements. But the big question is still: Are you willing to leave the top European tournaments to go to Super Lig when it is only 26 years old?
Ederson's future is also a big question mark in Man City, when the Brazilian goalkeeper entered the final year of the contract. Although Ederson has been an indispensable part of Pep Guardiola's play since 2017, he has started to contact Etihad's ability to leave Etihad.
Man City spent more than 30 million euros to bring James Trafford back from Burnley, with the goal of competing in the number one position. However, if Ederson actually left, Donnarumma could be in the sights of the former Premier League champion.
Clubs in Saudi Arabia have long paid special attention to Donnarumma and are ready to make unthinkable attractive offers. According to the press, Al Ittihad is ready to pay a salary of up to 20 million euros per year to attract the Italian goalkeeper to the Middle East.
With that remuneration, the invitation from Saudi Pro League is clearly difficult to resist. However, there are still many doubts whether Donnarumma will accept to abandon the top football in Europe to follow the currency.
