Gianluigi Donnarumma says his ‘priority’ is to stay at PSG despite emerging as a target for Manchester United and Manchester City.
The Manchester rivals have expressed interest in superstar goalkeeper Donnarumma amid his contract stand-off at Paris Saint-Germain.
Donnarumma, considered one of the best shot-stoppers in the world, has entered the final 12 months of his contract in the French capital.
PSG are keen for Donnarumma to stay but the 26-year-old has reportedly been underwhelmed by the club’s proposals so far.
The contract dispute has prompted Manchester United and Manchester City to line up moves for Donnarumma, who helped PSG win the Champions League and Ligue 1 last season.

Current United No. 1 Andre Onana has largely underwhelmed since his £47m move from Inter Milan in 2023 and Ruben Amorim is reportedly open to signing a replacement this summer.
Manchester City are also interested in Donnarumma as they look for a long-term replacement for club legend Ederson, who turns 32 before the start of next season.

Donnarumma was asked about his future and the transfer speculation following Italy’s World Cup qualifier against Moldova on Monday night and confirmed his ‘priority’ was to extend his spell in Paris.
‘My priority is to stay at PSG and sign a new deal,’ he said. ‘I don’t think there will be any problems in the negotiations.’
Speaking after PSG’s Champions League final win, Donnarumma confirmed he wanted to stay but said he was ‘open to anything’ regarding the summer window.

‘I feel good in Paris,’ the Italian said. ‘Then it’s up to the club to decide whether to renew my contract or not.
‘I’m ready for anything, but my first choice is Paris. I’ve found my balance, the fans and the team care about me, and I hope to stay here for many years.
‘As I’ve already said, I’m not closing the door to anything, I’m enjoying the moment.
‘Maybe, in a few years, things could change. Italy is definitely my home, and I do miss it a bit. Maybe one day I’ll come back, but for now I’m taking things day by day.
‘I feel good, and everyone at PSG has confidence in me. I’m happy, right now, I’m just focused on what I’m doing and enjoying everything in Paris.’
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has called for Onana to be replaced but believes his former club may prioritise other areas.
Asked whether Onana should be replaced in the summer, Scholes said on TNT Sports: ‘Yeah, I think it’s something they need to think about.
‘But they need to look at the budget as well. Can you get away with not spending that money on a goalkeeper?
‘He hasn’t been quite good enough but it will come down to money and what Amorim has got to spend.
‘We’ve seen this goalkeeper do well at Inter Milan as well. But I don’t think his distribution has been great either, and that’s one of the reasons he was brought in.
‘But can you almost get away with not spending another £40m on a goalkeeper? I don’t know. Ruben Amorim has a lot of problems to solve.’
