Future in French capital for Italian international is increasingly in doubt as his current contract standoff continues.

Donnarumma's PSG deal runs out in the summer of 2026, but both TEAMtalk and The Mirror say the goalkeeper would agree to depart before then.

Ligue 1 leaders PSG reportedly are close to securing Lille's Lucas Chevalier — a move viewed by many as being a precursor to letting their wanted goalkeeper depart.

Donnarumma has "made his choice" and Old Trafford is his second choice, British media say. The 25-year-old has been a long admirer of the Premier League and is believed to see Manchester United as the ideal platform to continue his career at the highest level.

The Red Devils, meanwhile, are in desperate quest for stability at the back after a rollercoaster last season.

Donnarumma switched to PSG from AC Milan in 2021 after helping Italy win the European Championship, but Paris life has been a rollercoaster for the gifted stopper.

While his quality and quickness were never in doubt, competition for the number one spot and tactical changes under differing bosses have not allowed him to recapture his Milan peaks on a consistent basis as yet.

Manchester United Make Their Move

Manchester United have been reported to "formally registered their interest" in acquiring Donnarumma, showing that they wish to add more depth to their squad with another class goalkeeper.

The transfer could raise questions about André Onana, who was signed from Inter Milan just a year ago. While Onana has shown glimpses of brilliance, his performances have been erratic, and so the question emerges of whether United need to bring in more competition.

TEAMtalk states that United has become a greater priority for Donnarumma following their summer signing of young French goalkeeper Lucas Cheval, which could indicate a shift in the club's long-term goalkeeping policy.

As negotiations on Donnarumma's contract renewal with PSG have apparently hit the rocks, his possible transfer ahead of his contract reaching its last season becomes increasingly possible.

Financially, PSG will also be inclined to cash him in rather than release him on the cheap in the future.

Paris club's apparent interest in Chevalier shows that they are preparing for all eventualities, having a potential stand-in on standby in case the Italian departs.

A Potential Setback at Old Trafford

If Donnarumma makes the move, United's goalkeeping hierarchy would be severely disrupted.

6'5" stopper offers commanding presence, elite-level reflexes, and experience at the top levels of international and club football — skills that could make him an immediate Old Trafford darling.

His arrival, however, could mark an end to Onana's era as one-man number one prematurely, forcing manager Erik ten Hag into making a massive choice when the 2025/26 season rolls in.

For PSG, the loss of Donnarumma would mark the end of a promise era that has yielded so little.

However, the transfer would be good for everyone — PSG would get a transfer fee, United would get a world-class proven goalkeeper, and Donnarumma would get to enjoy the Premier League platform he has long desired.
