Manchester United is linked to a new keeper and Ruben Amorim asked a question around Paris Saint-Germain star Gianluigi Donnarumma outside Old Trafford
Ruben Amorim could only laugh when he was asked about the prospect of Manchester United who signed Gianluigi Donnarumma this summer. The time of the Italian keeper in Paris Saint-Germain seems to almost end with only a year about his contract in the Parc des Princes.
Luis Enrique has already seen a new goalkeeper in the French capital coming. PSG agreed with a deal for Lille Shotstopper Lucas Chevalier, who participated in a five-year contract after the winners of the Champions League decided to pay £ 34.7 million, with the potential for another £ 13 million in add-ons.
The Parisian side related an offer on former AC Milan Shotstopper Donnarumma as soon as this summer. It is clear that they take compensation in the £ 26 million region – a knockdown price – for a player who is counted by some to be the best in the world. And United belongs to those who see them as a competition.
The Red Devils have long been associated with the signing of a new keeper. Backup option Altay Bayindir has endured an uncertain future, with the club said greater competition for Andre Onana. Onana has not always stated a self -assured presence in the Theater of Dreams and has previously seen uncertainty about his own position, with figures such as Aston Villa Star Emiliano Martinez and Donnarumma linked to Old Trafford.
On Saturday, Amorim had asked him about the prospect of signing Donnarumma. The Portuguese were stopped from the stadium, while Manchester United played their last friendly friend against Fiorentina and was brought to the task by an advocate of the club.
Amorim could only first respond with “sorry?” Before the question was asked a second time. The former sporting Lisbon boss could only leave a bitter smile while he continued to sign signatures without providing a clear answer.
Maybe not a question for him … or maybe no priority with the expenditure of United already more than £ 200 million and a midfielder on the agenda.
Amorim has already added Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Diego Leon to his team this summer. United's attention is now to sell players.
Marcus Rashford insured an exit to Barcelona this summer, but colleague -unusual stars Antony, Jadon Sancho, Tyrell Malacia and Alejandro Garnacho are still without a new side. The latter would have agreed personal conditions with Chelsea.
There will also be attention for the United just before the start of the season. Bayindir played in Doel against Fiorentina with Onana from injured. The Cameroon International is not visible during the preseason, but is contrary to playing against Arsenal.
