Time flies; it has been four years since Donnarumma left AC Milan for Paris on a free transfer. Last season, he made crucial saves, helping Paris secure a treble (Champions League + Ligue 1 + Coupe de France). With only one year remaining on his contract with Paris and no renewal agreement reached yet, it means Donnarumma could once again leave on a free transfer next summer, potentially earning a signing bonus.
According to the latest reports from Italian journalist Skira, Paris has refused to let Donnarumma leave on a free transfer next summer, which would result in a loss for the club. Therefore, Paris plans to sell the 26-year-old Italian goalkeeper this summer. They have already identified his successor, who is 23-year-old French goalkeeper Chevalier from Lille.
In his four years at Paris, Donnarumma has played 161 matches across all competitions, conceding 156 goals, averaging 0.96 goals per match, and achieving 56 clean sheets. He has helped the team win one Champions League title, four Ligue 1 titles, and two Coupe de France trophies.
After securing forward Sesko, Manchester United's anticipated lineup for the new season now hinges on Donnarumma. Amorin has been looking to replace the extremely inconsistent Onana, and the treble-winning goalkeeper Donnarumma is the ideal candidate. Donnarumma's pre-tax annual salary at Paris is €12.73 million, making United one of the few clubs capable of affording him. Donnarumma is motivated by money, and with Manchester United's interest, his move there would be a win-win situation.
