Real Madrid Plot Shock Move for PSG Standout to Replace Key Veteran | OneFootball

PSG have a big decision to make—and clubs like Manchester City are surely watching closely: Is Gianluigi Donnarumma still their long-term answer in goal?

He’s under contract until 2026, but interest from Europe’s elite is growing. Since arriving from AC Milan in 2021, Donnarumma has delivered in key moments—stepping up in shootouts and making clutch saves—but his time in Paris hasn’t been flawless.

There have been notable mistakes, including the costly error against Real Madrid in the 2022 Champions League, that continue to cast doubt on his ability to handle high-pressure situations.

Now, with PSG heading to the Champions League final, the pressure is back on. A strong performance could reaffirm his place as the club’s No. 1. If not, with time ticking on his deal, other clubs will be ready to pounce.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Real Madrid are interested in Donnarumma as a long-term replacement for Thibaut Courtois. The PSG goalkeeper is under contract until 2026.

The report adds that Donnarumma is said to be open to the move, as he’s looking for a new challenge in a different league.

Football Italia reported on Saturday that Donnarumma’s contract is winding down. Still, despite interest from Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Inter Milan, he plans to meet with PSG first to discuss a new deal.

His current contract runs until June 2026, but PSG have offered him a new deal with a much lower salary than the €10 million per season he was earning after leaving Milan in 2021.
