Where will Gianluigi Donnarumma play? A few days before the end of the 2025 summer transfer window, the porter still ignores which club will welcome him for the coming season. The Italian international was invited to quickly leave Paris Saint-Germain after the arrival of Lucas Chevalier from LOSC.

As a result, Donnarumma must now find a fall point, under penalty of spending the season as a replacement at PSG. After the announcement of his desire to leave, a personal agreement with Manchester City was quickly mentioned by the press. But things are not going as planned.

The Citizens, who must replace Ederson on the departure to Galatasaray, had targeted the Parisian goalkeeper to take the job. But according to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the file is currently blocked. “Paris Saint-Germain requests compensation deemed far too important for its goalkeeper”he said on X. This situation forced Mancunian leaders to explore other tracks in parallel.

Still according to the journalist, the English club is now interested in Senne Lammens, the royal goalkeeper Antwerp nicknamed
“The new Thibaut Courtois”. Lammens is also very appreciated by Manchester United, which makes competition even more lively. City therefore seems to have to review its plans if Donnarumma cannot be transferred quickly.

For Paris Saint-Germain, the situation is delicate. The leaders refuse for the moment to sell off their goalkeeper, even if it blocks a departure which could satisfy all the parties. The race against the watch before the transfer window closed still promises many twists and turns.
