Chelsea given major boost in pursuit of Gianluigi Donnarumma as Man Utd refuse to be drawn into bidding war for star No1
MANCHESTER UNITED will not get involved in a bidding war for Gianluigi Donnarumma. And that leaves the door open for Chelsea and Manchester City to try and lure the Italian. 2 Goalkeeper Donnarumma 's contract stand-off with Paris Saint-Germain has raised the prospect he might be available this summer. The Euro 2020 winner, 26, has one year left on his deal with the Champions League winners. And he is seeking a significant mark-up on his £210,000-a-week Parc des Princes wages. But United refuse to be forced into paying top dollar — meaning they will not rival neighbours City and Chelsea as potential Premier League contenders for his signature. City may lose No 1 Ederson and could be reluctant to make new signing James Trafford, 22, his full-time replacement. The former Burnley star cost the Cityzens a record fee for a British goalkeeper. This means that they have paid more to bring back Trafford than Everton 's £30million for Jordan Pickford back in 2017. The transfer has also taken City boss Pep Guardiola 's spending to over €2billion (£1.73bn) during his managerial career. Unless there is an unexpected change of stance, United seem set to go into the new campaign with Andre Onana as first choice between the sticks. The Red Devils did make an approach to Aston Villa to take Argentine World Cup winner Emi Martinez on loan. Gianluigi Donnarumma suffers horror facial injuries after sickening tackle that could have blinded him But that was knocked back and the Old Trafford outfit have now shelved their interest. That leaves Onana in pole position to start the season opener against Arsenal on August 17 — as long as his hamstring injury eases in time. If he has not recovered from his injury in time, then Ruben Amorim could have to rely on either Altay Bayindir or Tom Heaton. 2

PSG Get Good News as Man Utd Make Transfer Decision on Aston Villa Veteran
PSG's goalkeeping situation is becoming uncertain, with Lucas Chevalier emerging as a possible long-term solution. Although Gianluigi Donnarumma is under contract through 2026, extension talks have hit a standstill with no deal in sight. Meanwhile, Manchester United might be looking to shake up their goalkeeper lineup, with Donnarumma reportedly on their radar. L'Équipe reports that Donnarumma started considering a move away from PSG before last season ended, even though he publicly reaffirmed his loyalty to the club. Since June, Manchester United and Manchester City have shown interest in the Italian keeper. PSG hopes to finalize a deal for Chevalier before making any decisions about Donnarumma's future.

The Athletic's Laurie Whitwell reports that Manchester United have ruled out a move to sign 32-year-old Emi Martinez from Aston Villa because the cost is too high. On Monday, RMC Sport's Fabrice Hawkins reported that Donnarumma is still with PSG, but his agents are actively looking for potential new clubs. The Italian goalkeeper reportedly has several options, including Manchester United, Manchester City, Galatasaray, and some teams from Saudi Arabia. Despite the interest, Donnarumma remains dedicated to PSG and would only consider leaving if he's convinced by the right project. Inside PSG, there's a chance Donnarumma and Chevalier could compete for the starting spot, with Luis Enrique expected to make the final call, according to Hawkins.

PSG face increasing uncertainty in their goalkeeper position, with Lucas Chevalier emerging as a possible long-term solution. Although Gianluigi Donnarumma is under contract through 2026, extension talks have stalled without reaching an agreement. Moreover, could Manchester United be reshaping their goalkeeping chart with the thought of bringing in the UEFA Champions League winner? Recently, L'Équipe reported that Donnarumma started thinking about leaving PSG before the European season ended, even though he publicly expressed loyalty to the club. The report also says Manchester United and Manchester City have been interested in the Italian goalkeeper since June. PSG hopes to finalize Chevalier's signing before deciding on Donnarumma's future. Are Manchester United keen on adding PSG standout? Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images On Monday, CaughtOffside reported that Manchester United have set a price tag of £35 million to £40 million on Andre Onana. The club is increasingly open to selling him, especially since they could be targeting Donnarumma as his replacement. Teams from major markets like AS Monaco and Saudi Arabia have expressed interest, but Onana's own decision will play a big role in how things unfold. However, Manchester United may not be in a position to make a move. According to the Manchester Evening News, the club doesn't currently have a budget for a new No. 1 goalkeeper. Even so, Onana is not expected to leave. He's reportedly committed to staying at Manchester United and has been assured he won't be sold or replaced.
