According to media reports, Paris Saint-Germain’s first-choice goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is increasingly likely to leave this summer, with both Manchester City and Bayern Munich showing strong interest in the Italian shot-stopper.
Donnarumma’s contract with PSG expires next year, but talks over a renewal have stalled—PSG’s offer falls far short of the player’s valuation, leaving a clear rift between both sides.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has long been an admirer of Donnarumma, well aware of the pivotal role a top-tier goalkeeper plays in a team’s defense. Thus, if PSG set Donnarumma’s price in the reasonable range of €25-30 million, City will move quickly with a bid; however, if PSG demands a higher fee beyond their budget, City is prepared to wait—aiming to sign him on a free transfer when his contract expires next year.
Notably, Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are also closely monitoring Donnarumma’s situation. The goalkeeper’s ability and potential have caught the eye of Bayern’s management, who stand ready to pounce at the right moment to bring him to the Allianz Arena.
