JAKARTA - Paris Saint-Germain has no longer made Gianluigi Donnarumma their first-choice goalkeeper. Chelsea and Manchester United, who are monitoring Donnarumma's situation, are preparing to pursue him.
PSG is currently trying to get rid of Donnarumma, who has one year left on his contract. PSG had actually been negotiating for a contract extension for the Italian national team goalkeeper.
However, those negotiations have reached an impasse. Donnarumma doesn't want his salary cut if his contract is renewed. He also rejected offers from clubs that would have paid him based on his performance.
Due to the failure of these negotiations, PSG stated that Donnarumma is no longer their first-choice goalkeeper. He will be replaced by goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, who was bought from Lille.
Although still in the negotiation stage, the two clubs have reached an agreement. PSG bought Chevalier for 40 million euros and offered him a five-year contract.
PSG is indeed trying to get rid of Donnarumma by making him their second-choice goalkeeper. PSG hopes the 26-year-old goalkeeper will reject this decision and choose to leave.
However, PSG is trying to sell the former AC Milan goalkeeper before he becomes a free agent in December 2025. If he isn't sold soon, Donnarumma could leave, leaving Les Parisiens without a penny from the goalkeeper's transfer to another club.
PSG doesn't want a repeat of Kylian Mbappé's case, where the elite French Ligue 1 club didn't receive a penny from the star's departure to Real Madrid. Mbappé is already a free agent, as his contract expired when PSG attempted to extend it.
Donnarumma's situation appears to be on Chelsea and Manchester United's radar, which are open to the prospect of finding a new goalkeeper to replace Andre Onana. Initially, Manchester United were not interested in signing Donnarumma because they were focused on signing striker Benjamin Sesko.
However, if Donnarumma's price is not prohibitive, Manchester United could sign him. However, Donnarumma isn't necessarily interested in moving to Manchester United, which isn't playing in European competition this season.
Chelsea themselves are looking to add a goalkeeper with the quality of Roberto Sanchez. The problem is, the Blues have already spent a significant amount of money on numerous players.
Donnarumma is truly PSG's pillar between the sticks. He played a crucial role in PSG's treble-winning campaign, winning Ligue 1, the Coupe de France, and the Champions League.
