Man Utd Near Transfer Agreement for Alternative to PSG Star Amid Man City Interest

Gianluigi Donnarumma’s future at PSG is taking shape following the arrival of Lucas Chevalier. The 26-year-old goalkeeper is reportedly seeking a long-term move, with Manchester United, Manchester City, and Chelsea all linked to the situation.

According to a recent report from L’Équipe, Donnarumma has already reached an agreement with Manchester City and even held direct talks with Pep Guardiola. Adding another twist, Fabrizio Romano reported that Galatasaray are interested in Ederson, a move that could clear the way for Donnarumma to join the Etihad.

Chelsea and Manchester United have also made early approaches, RMC Sport previously noted, though those discussions remain in the preliminary stages. Manchester City, however, are widely seen as the frontrunner as the summer transfer window comes to an end.
