Gianluigi Donnarumma: Man City told what to pay for Ruben Amorim’s top target | OneFootball

Gianluigi Donnarumma is expected to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

The French giants have made it abundantly clear: the Italian can leave.

Lucas Chevalier has already arrived to take over as Luis Enrique’s new number one, signalling a clear shift in the goalkeeping hierarchy.

While Donnarumma may have hoped to remain at the Parc des Princes and deputise the new arrival, that option is off the table.

Enrique’s decision to leave him out of the UEFA Super Cup squad to face Tottenham Hotspur makes it painfully obvious his time in Paris is up.

Premier League links intensify

Donnarumma has been heavily linked with a move to England.

Chelsea have quietly distanced themselves from the deal, suggesting they are not keen on his services.

Manchester United, however, continue to be strongly linked with the 26-year-old.

Over the weekend, reports claimed Donnarumma was open to a switch to Old Trafford.

By Monday, fresh claims suggested United needed to offload players before finalising a move.

Then on Tuesday, The Peoples Person reported that the Red Devils were now leading the race for his signature.

City enters the frame

Just as United’s pursuit began to gather momentum, Manchester City are forcing their way into the picture.

According to Fabrizio Romano, City have now made contact for the 6’5″ shot-stopper, adding one more rival to the chase.

For United, the silver lining is that City would need to move on Ederson before making a concrete move, and Donnarumma has yet to give them the green light.

Asking price now a major obstacle

Despite the interest, INEOS may struggle to strike a deal.

PSG are demanding €50 million (£43 million) for Donnarumma, a figure that is double what many expected.

Factor in his hefty wages and lingering doubts about his form, and the deal becomes increasingly difficult to justify.

Unless PSG lower their valuation and Donnarumma agrees to a massive pay cut, it is hard to see INEOS pressing ahead with the transfer.

They may opt for Senne Lammens, another brilliant goalie, heavily linked with an Old Trafford switch.
