Gianluigi Donnarumma has recently been associated with Manchester United – If he moves to Old Trafford, there is a mild disappointment he should tolerate
If Manchester United succeeds in guaranteeing the surprise of Gianluigi Donnarumma, the Italian goalkeeper would not be their number 1. However, he could immediately write in the books of the United History.
Turkish Scotstopper Altay Bayindir is currently the owner of the number 1 Jersey in Old Trafford. Since the departure of David de Gea under Erik ten Hag, United has had problems with their goalkeeper options.
Andre Onana was introduced for £ 47 million, but is inconsistent between the sticks, causing rumors to be caused that United might want to recruit a new keeper of the first choice. With the future of Donnarumma in Paris Saint Germain uncertain, despite his heroic deeds in their Champions League -winning campaign, United is linked to a daring movement.
Reports from France claim that United is considering a move for the winner of the Euro 2020. L'Equipe understands that both United and Manchester City have shown interest in bringing the Italian to their clubs after the negotiations between PSG and the Shot stopper have hit a wall.
The news from Manchester Evening has previously reported that no budget has been reserved for a new goalkeeper of the top class with Onana who is told that he will not be replaced. With Donnarumma that enters the last year of his contract and Lucas Chevalier van Lille, however, stood in line as a potential replacement, PSG is open to sell him this summer to earn back some money.
From the point of view of United, a potential movement for Donnarumma would be a considerable costs, especially if they also have to strengthen their attack. But if they can find the money for him, they can offer him no. 99 shirt.
Two things would be achieved if they did this. First of all, he would be reunited with the unusual song he wore at AC Milan, the club he was a member of when he was only 14 years old. Secondly, he would be the first United player ever to wear the song.
Donnarumma would almost certainly be United's first choice, but Bayindir got the number 1 shirt when he signed at Fenerbahce in the summer of 2023.
Of course, with Bayindir who is aware of the representation of Turkey during the World Cup next summer, he can be looking for an exit to guarantee himself the first team football. This would make the number 1 shirt available for Donnarumma.
When the 26-year-old moved to Old Trafford and Bayindir chose to fight for his place, he can merge the favor with his new teammates by choosing the number 99 shirt. United, however, even has to make an offer for the goalkeeper, who already has 74 international caps for Italy.
Donnarumma is also linked to a move to Chelsea. The blues are currently thinking about whether or not to stick or turn with the current shot stoppers Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen. Neither keepers were really convincing between the sticks last season, although the first did enjoy an impressive campaign at the World Cup club.
