Manchester United are plotting an audacious move for Paris Saint-Germain's star goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, according to fresh reports emerging from France.
The Red Devils are understood to be monitoring the Italian international's situation at Parc des Princes, where he's been sharing duties with veteran Keylor Navas this season.
Goalkeeping Conundrum at Old Trafford
Erik ten Hag's side currently have Andre Onana as their first-choice keeper following his £47m summer move from Inter Milan, but the Cameroonian's inconsistent form has raised questions about United's long-term plans between the posts.
Donnarumma, still only 24, would represent a major coup for United given his pedigree as a European Championship winner with Italy and one of the world's most promising shot-stoppers.
PSG's Delicate Balancing Act
The French champions face a dilemma with two world-class goalkeepers on their books. Donnarumma's contract runs until 2026, but PSG may be forced to choose between their keepers to balance the books amid Financial Fair Play concerns.
United's interest could accelerate PSG's decision-making process, with Navas also attracting interest from Saudi Arabia and Major League Soccer clubs.
What This Means for Onana
Should United push ahead with a move for Donnarumma, it would cast serious doubt over Onana's future at the club after just one season. The former Ajax keeper has shown flashes of brilliance but has also been culpable for several high-profile errors.
A potential Donnarumma signing would represent United's willingness to quickly rectify transfer mistakes - a strategy that has served rivals Chelsea well in recent years.
The coming weeks could prove pivotal in shaping United's goalkeeping department for years to come, with Donnarumma potentially at the heart of their rebuild.
