In a stunning twist to the summer transfer window, both Manchester United and Manchester City are said to be monitoring the situation of Paris Saint-Germain's star goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The Italian international, who joined PSG in 2021, has found himself in a fierce battle for the number one spot with Keylor Navas. Despite his undeniable talent, Donnarumma's inconsistent playing time has raised questions about his future at the Parc des Princes.

According to reports from France, the 25-year-old shot-stopper could be available for transfer, alerting England's top clubs. Both Manchester sides are understood to be assessing their goalkeeping options ahead of the new season.
For Manchester United, Donnarumma could represent a long-term solution between the posts, with questions persisting about David de Gea's future at Old Trafford. Meanwhile, Manchester City might view the Euro 2020 winner as potential competition for Ederson.
What Would Donnarumma Bring?
- World-class shot-stopping ability
- Vital experience at the highest level
- Commanding presence in the penalty area
- Proven pedigree in big matches
While PSG would be reluctant to lose such a talented player, financial fair play considerations could force their hand. The French champions may need to offload high earners this summer, potentially making Donnarumma available for the right price.
Any move would represent a significant coup for either Manchester club, with Donnarumma widely regarded as one of the finest goalkeepers of his generation. The coming weeks could prove crucial in determining where the Italian international plays his football next season.
