Man United and City in Hilarious Donnarumma Tug-of-War…
Manchester United are gearing up for a blockbuster summer raid on Paris Saint-Germain’s Gianluigi Donnarumma, despite already spending nearly ÂŁ200 million. The talented Italian is expected to leave after being sidelined by Luis Enrique in the UEFA Super Cup, basically giving PSG’s goalpost more alone time than a washing machine. PSG’s recent signing of Lucas Chevalier as the new number one pumps the transfer rumors into overdrive. City and United are both interested, with his agent not dismissing a move to the Premier League. City have brought back James Trafford from Burnley, yet mystery clouds the futures of Ederson and Stefan Ortega. Though City cherish their Brazilian goalkeeper, the club hasn’t turned a blind eye to Donnarumma’s appeal. With the goalie penning a heartfelt goodbye to PSG fans, it feels more dramatic than a soap opera finale, lamenting his departure while thanking the fans, teammates, and even the vending machine at Parc des Princes just in case.
Both Manchester clubs have reportedly been chatting up Donnarumma’s agent, Enzo Raiola, for months like a couple of smooth talkers trying to impress the same date. Reports hinted City already whispered sweet nothings into Donnarumma’s ear, but United might have the financial juice to snatch him away, making this a potential blockbuster showdown. PSG apparently wants less than the ÂŁ48m splashed on Chevalier for their former number one. Surprisingly, United’s balance sheet is rosier than an optimistic summer camp itinerary since they’ve only added ÂŁ40m in amortisation costs this summer. With potential sales of players like Garnacho and Hojlund and log-firing wages if Sancho and Rashford move on, United could scoop Donnarumma without sweating over PSR rules. So while United may hint at an unlikely move, their pockets are deeper than the Mariana Trench, ready to splash if the opportunity strikes!
