Manchester United have reportedly received a boost in their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The 26-year-old enjoyed a record-breaking term at Parc des Princes last season as his side won Ligue 1 and their first-ever Champions League.
However, a record of four clean sheets across 24 top-flight matches in 2024-25 hardly set the world alight in between the sticks.
As a result, PSG are said to be open to selling the shot-stopper this summer, with Chelsea and Manchester United touted as possible destinations.
Since making the move from Italian giants AC Milan in the summer of 2021, Donnarumma has played 161 games for the French club.

Chelsea out of race for Man United-linked Donnarumma?
According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United have received a huge boost in their pursuit of PSG man Donnarumma.
The report claims that Premier League rivals Chelsea are not currently in the race for the services of the Euro 2020 winner.
It is understood that Donnarumma is not a target for the Club World Cup champions, despite recent reports suggesting otherwise.
Enzo Maresca is said to be happy with his goalkeeping department at Stamford Bridge, with Robert Sanchez in possession of the number-one jersey.
Set for a number of matches in various cup competitions this season, Danish 'keeper Filip Jorgensen provides backup for the Blues.

Man United have free run on Donnarumma
After joining from Inter Milan two summers ago, Andre Onana has made a number of high-profile mistakes in net for Man United.
If the Red Devils want to move onto the next level under Ruben Amorim, they arguably require an upgrade in between the sticks.
A towering presence and a winner of major trophies, Donnarumma is undoubtedly better equipped to help Man United back to the summit of the Premier League table.
