Donnarumma changes his mind and now wants to stay at PSG after Manchester United’s offer was not met

Italian goalkeeper expected to remain in Paris after disappointing salary proposals

In a dramatic turn of events, Gianluigi Donnarumma is now leaning toward staying at Paris Saint-Germain, reversing his earlier stance amid contract renewal uncertainty. The Italian goalkeeper had stalled negotiations to extend his current deal, prompting PSG to consider selling him during the summer transfer window.

According to multiple European outlets, the Ligue 1 giants were determined to avoid a repeat of the Kylian Mbappé situation, where the club lost a marquee player to Real Madrid for free. With Donnarumma’s contract nearing its final stretch, PSG had reportedly been open to transfer offers to avoid similar consequences.

PSG already moved for replacement — €40M deal with Lille

As a precaution, PSG reached an agreement in principle with Lille for goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, tabling a fee of approximately €40 million to secure the French shot-stopper. That move appeared to signal that Donnarumma’s exit was imminent.

However, developments in the past few hours suggest otherwise.

Manchester United’s offer fell short of PSG’s package

According to journalist Fabrice Hawkins, the offers Donnarumma received during the window including one from Manchester United failed to meet the goalkeeper’s expectations, particularly in terms of salary.

Sources say United’s proposal did not exceed the wages PSG had already offered in their renewal talks, weakening the Premier League club’s chances of securing the Italian star.

Donnarumma had reportedly hoped for a higher-paying move away from Paris, but the lack of competitive financial offers appears to have tipped the scales back in PSG’s favor.

Donnarumma now likely to stay at PSG

While nothing has been officially signed, insiders close to the situation believe the 25-year-old is increasingly likely to remain in Paris, especially now that the board is willing to restart contract negotiations under more stable terms.
