Donnarumma, the pharaonic transfer
Manchester United began discussions to recruit Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain, despite fierce competition.

According to The Telegraph, Manchester United has started discussions with PSG about the goalkeeper, whose contract expires at the end of the season. French giants wish to sell the Italian international to avoid a new start, like that of Kylian Mbappé, who left for free at Real Madrid. Manchester United is faced with fierce competition to recruit it.

Donnarumma targeted in the Premier League

Donnarumma is also coveted by Al-Ittihad and Galatasaray, the two clubs offering the goalkeeper a salary of 20 million euros (17 million pounds sterling / 23 million dollars), a weekly salary of more than 330,000 pounds Sterling. Chelsea and Manchester City would also have done research, but the latter recruited James Trafford from Burnley.

United wants a goalkeeper

André Onana is currently absent due to an injury to the hamstrings and embarks on a race against the clock to be ready for the opening match of the Premier League season against Arsenal on August 17.

Manchester United would be determined to recruit a goalkeeper before the start of the season and would also be interested in Emiliano Martinez at Aston Villa. They will face Bournemouth on Wednesday in their next pre-season friendly match.
