Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Gianluigi Donnarumma, who was excellent against Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League. They are looking to replace Andre Onana, who has some interest from Saudi Arabian clubs.
As per Fichajes.net (via The Peoples Person), the Red Devils are looking to make a €60 million move for Donnarumma this summer. The Italian goalkeeper’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) expires in 2026. While the two parties are in talks for an extension, there has been no result yet.
Hence, if these talks fail, PSG could look to cash in on him this summer instead of letting him leave for free in 2026. In that case, Manchester United would be prepared with a €60 million offer for him. They are looking to replace Andre Onana, who has made multiple mistakes during his time at Old Trafford.
Donnarumma, meanwhile, has been excellent for PSG since arriving from AC Milan in 2021. He has kept 50 clean sheets in 152 games for them, conceding 151 goals.
He was particularly brilliant in their UEFA Champions League semi-final win (3-1 on aggregate) against Arsenal this season. The 26-year-old made eight saves across both legs against the Gunners, including some world-class stops. After the win in the second leg on May 7, he said (via Football365):
PSG, meanwhile, will face Inter Milan in the Champions League final on May 31.
There are just a few fixtures remaining in the 2024-25 season. While Arsenal and Manchester United have had contrasting seasons, it could flip around in the remaining games.
The Gunners are set to make it their fifth season in a row without winning a major trophy. Arsenal only have Premier League action remaining this season as they sit second in the standings. They will face Liverpool at Anfield on May 11 and Newcastle United at home on May 18. They will end the season at St. Mary’s Stadium against Southampton on May 25.
Manchester United, meanwhile, are 15th in the Premier League, marking it their worst-ever campaign. However, they have reached the UEFA Europa League final, where they will face Tottenham Hotspur at San Mames on May 21.
In the Premier League, they will face West Ham United at home on May 11 and Chelsea away on May 16. They will end the season at home against Aston Villa on May 25.

He has been a fan of Tottenham Hotspur’s front foot and creative football since 2008 and connect’s with the club’s underdog status.
Aditya, who is a Sportskeeda ‘Long-form Editor of the Month’ award winner, is a big admirer of Luka Modric’s elegant and hard-working style of play. His favorite manager is Carlo Ancelotti because the Italian allows his players enough freedom in an age where micromanagement is the established norm.
Aditya feels Jude Bellingham and Jamal Musiala could replicate the Messi-Ronaldo rivalry due to their incredible collective potential. In his free time, he likes to read classical fiction, travel to places, and explore a variety of foods.
