Gianluigi donnarumma has left Paris Saint-Germain and has already been discussing joining one Premier League side in the summer transfer window.
Gianluigi Donnarumma has put Premier League teams in Red Alert after announcing their departure from Paris Saint-Germain.
Donnarumma has been told that PSG by manager Luis Enrique has no future, and said goodbye in a fiery statement on Instagram. “Unfortunately, someone decided that I am no longer part of the group and could contribute to the success of the team,” he said. “I’m disappointed and disappointed.”
Earlier that day, Enrique had confirmed that Donnaruma had been dropped from the team for a Super Cup against Tottenham on Wednesday night. “Donnarumma is outside the team as it is my own decision. I am 100% responsible,” Enrique said.
“I made this decision because I want a different kind of goalkeeper. Gigio is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. The life of a top-level footballer applies to our coaches as well.

Donnarumma is only 26 years old and should not be a suitor as a European champion in Italy in 2021 and a Champions League winner at PSG in May.
There’s still plenty of time left until the summer transfer window closes on September 1st, but where can he end? Here we look at Mirror Football’s options in the Premier League.
Manchester City
The latest noise came from Etihad. In Etihad, Pep Guardiola is said to have a soft spot for Donnaruma. There have been a lot of movement in City’s goalkeeping division this summer. Following rumors that Edason could leave for Galata Salei, the club re-signed James Trafford for £31 million from Burnley.
Late Tuesday night, the news came via L’Equipe that Donnarumma had agreed to personal terms with the city. Italian International is understood to be extremely enthusiastic about moving to cities where fees must be negotiated with PSG.
By offloading Donnarumma’s public and creating a desire to promote new keeper Lucas Chevalier, PSG has brought himself back to the corner, but he cherishes him for £43 million.
Donnarumma’s contract expires less than a year, so City will certainly try to negotiate the fee downwards. His arrival would certainly mean the end of Edason’s eight years of stay at the club, and again taking the back seat at his boyhood club.
Manchester United
The question mark in the form of United’s Andre Onana has been almost constant since he arrived from Ajax. And last season, things came to my mind. Reuben Amorim was forced to take Onana from the shooting line after a erroneous performance against Lyon in the Europa League, but his replacement, Altai Bayindeal, was not good.
United reportedly contacted Aston Villa to inquire about the availability of Emi Martinez earlier this summer, but they are also linked to Senne Lammen of Royal Antwerp.
Given United’s lack of European football and his 15th place finish last season, Donalma always seemed an ambitious target. The club is keeping a distance from his movements, and it seems unlikely anyway.
One problem is the lack of available funds for United. Donnarumma broke away from PSG after demanding a new deal for the bumper, and United had to offload some of their unnecessary players before adding their summer spend to £2 million. Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho are the most valuable assets in that respect.
Chelsea
Robert Sanchez has never been convinced as Chelsea goalkeeper who tried to sign Mike Maignan earlier this summer. Bruce sold the Djordje Petrovic to Bournemouth for £25 million, sent Kepa Arrizabalaga to Arsenal for £5 million, and sent Marcus Bettinelli to the city.
They still have Philip Jorgensen and Mike Pender in their books, but the latter is highly regarded and is currently available for loan in Strasbourg for the season. Chelsea are reportedly pleased with their options. And Mainyan’s moves were opportunistic, not planned.
But obviously it will be an error-prone upgrade for Sanchez, and the opportunity to sign Donnaruma might change their minds. Sanchez improves at the end of last season and fits in the spirit of playing from behind Enzo Maresca, but he always has his fault.
