Find out why Manchester United is the best destination for Donnarumma, who is expected to leave PSG

Paris Saint-Germain is set to part ways with Gianluigi Donnarumma this summer, and the Italian goalkeeper has reportedly chosen Manchester United as his preferred destination. The 25-year-old, under contract with PSG for just one more year, is expected to leave before the end of the transfer window to avoid departing on a free transfer in 2026.

According to Mirror Football, Donnarumma has already informed those close to him that Old Trafford is his ideal landing spot. The move would see him replace André Onana, who has faced heavy criticism from fans after a string of inconsistent performances. Supporters on social media have already voiced strong backing for Donnarumma’s arrival, seeing him as a guaranteed starter for the Red Devils.

PSG ready to sell after Chevalier signing

PSG’s recent acquisition of Lucas Chevalier has paved the way for Donnarumma’s exit. Negotiations to extend his current deal broke down, prompting the French champions to put him on the market. The club is reportedly demanding around £26 million (approximately €30.5 million) for his transfer.

While clubs from Saudi Arabia have shown interest, Donnarumma has ruled out a move to the Middle East, insisting on continuing his career in Europe. Manchester United, with their financial muscle and competitive ambitions, are one of the few clubs able to meet both his salary expectations and PSG’s asking price.

Strong record in Paris

Since joining PSG in 2021, Donnarumma has played 47 matches in the most recent season, conceding 43 goals less than one per game and keeping 17 clean sheets. His consistent performances have cemented his status as one of Europe’s elite goalkeepers, making him a high-profile target for United as they seek stability in goal.

With PSG eager to finalize a sale in August, talks could accelerate in the coming weeks, setting up one of the Premier League’s most anticipated signings of the summer.
