Manchester United has long been associated with signing a new keeper and could try to sign Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who has not been able to agree a new deal
Paris Saint-Germain anticipates a possible flurry of bids for goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma after he has already signed his replacement and the French champions believe that Manchester United is one of the clubs in line. PSG has agreed a deal for Lille Shotstopper Lucas Chevalier, who will participate in a five-year contract after the winners of the Champions League have decided to pay € 40 million (£ 34.7 million), with the potential for another € 15 million (£ 13) in Add-on, for his services.
Donnarumma has only left for a year on his contract in Paris and the club is happy to separate with the concept that they would still have two top keepers at the Parc des Princes. The former AC Milan star would have been interested in extending his deal, but no agreement was reached.
Donnarumma had wanted a wage increase, despite the fact that it was one of the highest earners of the team. The Italian international is currently at € 850,000 per month (£ 736,000) and did not come in line with the new salary structure of the club aimed at lower salary bases with larger incentives
According to ESPN, PSG expects an offer from United, Chelsea or Inter Milan. The trio of European giants is reportedly in contact with the agent of Donnarummma, Enzo Raiola.
United has been linked on a large scale in recent months to the signing of a goalkeeper, although not always of the same caliber as Donnarumma. The future of the Altay Bayindir backup option has been uncertain with greater competition for Andre Onana that was being sought.
The injury of Onana in the preseason has also added fuel to speculation in combination with its not convincing United career. However, the ex-Ajax-Aas is expected to be fit on time before the start of the Premier League season.
United has already spent more than £ 200 million this summer. The Red Devils ambitions have so far replenished their forward line in the transfer window.
The arrival of Benjamin Sesko was confirmed by the club for a five -year deal after he agreed a fee with a value of a maximum of £ 74 million with Bundesliga Side RB Leipzig. The Slovenia striker joins Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo in the team of Ruben Amorim.
However, any further significant edition may require the club to sell. Jadon Sancho, Tyrell Malacia, Antony and Alejandro Garnacho are currently all outside the first team plans.
United has been able to facilitate so far, but the latter is the subject of the importance of Chelsea. The wing player of Argentina has already agreed on personal conditions about a switch to Stamford Bridge, but there remains a matter of whether Chelsea will meet United £ 50 million pricet.
