Paris Saint-Germain arefacing uncertainty about their goalkeeping situation, particularly with Gianluigi Donnarumma’s future up in the air. If the club chooses to part ways with the 25-year-old, they’ll need to explore the transfer market for a replacement.

According to a recent report from PSG Inside Actus, the Parisians are monitoring five potential candidates, including Brighton & Hove Albion’s standout, Bart Verbruggen.
