Manchester United target Gianluigi Donnarumma is being eyed by Inter Milan
The 2024/25 season was a disappointment for Manchester United fans. The team finished 15th in the Premier League, lost to Spurs in the Europa League final and did not qualify for any European competition for 2025/26. Ruben Amorim took over as manager mid-season, but it was too late to change the situation. This summer, the club showed rapid progress in the transfer market. High-profile players such as Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo came to the team, as well as young Diogo Leon was also signed. In addition, the signing of Benjamin Sesko strengthened the striker position, especially after Rasmus Hojlund’s poor season.
Goalkeeping problem and Donnarumma talk
Meanwhile, André Onana’s frequent mistakes last season cost United in many important matches. Lack of trust in the defensive line and the Cameroon international’s mistakes repeatedly put the team in trouble. For this reason, there have been constant reports of upgrading the goalkeeper position in the summer.
Names like Gianluigi Donnarumma, Emiliano Martinez and Diogo Costa have been linked. There is talk within the club that a world-class goalkeeper can bring back the defensive strength of the team, but it will not be easy to bring Donnarumma, as he is in great demand in the market.
Latest report on Donnarumma
Manchester United target Gianluigi Donnarumma is being eyed by Inter Milan.
Donnarumma, a world-class goalkeeper, would significantly strengthen United’s backline
According to former Everton CEO Keith Wyness, PSG are ready to sell Donnarumma this summer. He said that United earlier wanted to sell Onana, but now the relationship between the two has improved. Despite this, the problem of goalkeeping remains. Wyness said that the Italian’s agent has been looking for a new team for him for a long time, and Inter Milan could be his possible destination. Chelsea’s name are also in the discussion, as there has been no stability in the goalkeeper position since Peter Cech. However, Inter’s financial situation may make it difficult to match his €13 million annual salary.
“Man United have been trying to get rid of Onana and there’s been no movement there.
“Then they seemed to be friends again with Onana, and they were going to stick with him, and everybody was saying lovely things about each other. They’ve got an issue there. They’ve got to get rid of Onana first before they can move for Donnarumma.
“Now, Donnarumma, his agents have been working really hard on this. I’m surprised PSG are letting him go, to be honest. I mean, he’s a talent, and he’s still a good age for a goalkeeper as well.
“I think he may end up back in Italy. Inter Milan is what I’m hearing from my sources. I think Chelsea are interested in him as well.
“Chelsea have not had the greatest success with keepers for a while, since the Peter Cech days really. So, you know, that could be a move there, but there are other options as well.”
United’s strategy and last chance
If Donnarumma moves to Inter Milan, it would be a double blow for United—the club would lose a world-class goalkeeper, and a direct European rival would become stronger, although we are not playing in Europe this season. Donnarumma have long ties with Serie A, and memories of his AC Milan days could tempt him to return to Italy. Inter’s project under Cristian Chivu is attractive, but their financial difficulties raise questions about a possible.
Still, if the 26-year-old prefers stability and a home environment over the glitz of the Premier League, United’s chances could be slim. His rejection of PSG’s new wage structure also shows he wants a longer contract and a reliable environment, which we might not be able to provide at this current moment of time.
So, if United decide to sell Onana right now, it could be very dangerous, as time is running out and the market is about to close. The question now is whether we should hold out for a last-ditch option like Donnarumma or rely on Onana for another season. We think it’s now time to trust Onana atleast till the January transfer window, as United continue to lead the race for Carlos Baleba.
