Report: Man United learn bargain asking price for target, set for talks with his agent soon
Manchester United are hoping to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma before the summer transfer window closes.
The 26-year-old could be on his way out of PSG, and he will cost £26-28 million this summer. According to a report from Stretty News, Manchester United are prepared to offer him a long-term contract. They have already scheduled a meeting with the goalkeeper’s agent this week. It remains to be seen whether they follow up with an official offer for PSG.
Gianluigi Donnarumma could fancy a Premier League move
The opportunity to move to England could be quite exciting for the 26-year-old goalkeeper, and he will look to compete at a high level. Manchester United are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them could be exciting for him. Donnarumma has been linked with Chelsea as well.
Manchester United will not be able to offer him European football for the upcoming campaign. It remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done. Convincing world-class players to join without Champions League football can be quite difficult. If they manage to convince the Italian, it will be a huge boost for them.
Man United to replace Onana
Andre Onana has been quite underwhelming, and he has cost his team valuable points last season. He needs replacing, and the Italian would be a major upgrade. Donnarumma has been outstanding for PSG, and he helped them win the league title and the UEFA Champions League last season.
He could transform Manchester United at the back. Apart from his quality as a goalkeeper, his winning experience and leadership skills could prove to be invaluable as well. Manchester United have missed a world-class goalkeeper since the departure of David De Gea. The Italian could fill that void in the upcoming campaign.
The reported asking price is quite reasonable for a player of his quality as well.
