Man Utd could land Gianluigi Donnarumma in a surprising twist this summer, shaking up the Premier League transfer scene.
Donnarumma linked with a Man United move
Manchester United might pull off a shock signing with Gianluigi Donnarumma reportedly on the move. The Italian has been a top performer, helping PSG crush Inter Milan 5-0 in the UCL final. He earned a spot in the Team of the Season as well.
Despite this, PSG’s recent signing of Lille’s Lucas Chevalier has pushed Donnarumma onto the transfer list. This has made him available for the right offer. Former PL player and ESPN journalist Jan Aage Fjortoft believes this is a genuine chance for Man Utd to strengthen a weak spot in their squad.
The Red Devils have struggled in goal since Andre Onana’s poor displays. The club requires stability in goal. Now, with only 12 days to go in the transfer window, a deal could happen quickly to land the Italian. Meanwhile, rumours are linking the keeper to rivals Man City.
Experience and impact Red Devils need
Donnarumma brings a huge experience that could transform Man Utd. The player has played in 215 matches in Serie A, 104 in Ligue 1, 40 in the UCL and 74 for Italy. He has won seven trophies at club level.
Bringing in Donnarumma could also be a useful way to address wage balance throughout the squad. Onana’s big salary and first choice assumptions make it difficult to have two top goalkeepers in the squad. The arrival of the Italian would give competition and stability. But, it could also encourage the current keeper or look for other clubs.

This could be one of the most underrated moves of the summer. Donnarumma’s talent and experience would give United a real shot at climbing the PL table.
