Kylian Mbappé Indirectly Boosts Man Utd’s Chances of Landing £26M-Rated PSG Star

PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma's contract runs until 2026, but extension negotiations have stalled. The club is reportedly preparing to move on and is close to signing LOSC Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, aiming to avoid repeating past contract saga mistakes.

Manchester United is considering Donnarumma among their goalkeeping options. According to reports, his representatives are exploring opportunities with Manchester City, Galatasaray, and several Saudi Arabian clubs also showing interest.

Donnarumma isn't actively pushing for a transfer and is expected to stay unless a strong offer arrives. If he remains, he will likely compete with Chevalier for the starting position, with manager Luis Enrique making the final decision.

PSG reportedly selected Chevalier as their starting goalkeeper amid the contract standoff, determined to prevent a repeat of the Kylian Mbappé situation. Donnarumma and his camp are seeking a move guaranteeing regular playtime ahead of the World Cup.

PSG is open to Donnarumma's departure but prefers a permanent sale since his contract has one year remaining. While a loan is possible, the club is pushing for a transfer. The Mbappé precedent has made PSG firm in negotiations.

A transfer faces challenges due to Donnarumma's high salary and the cost of acquiring a goalkeeper from the European champions. Manchester United currently appears the most likely destination. PSG reportedly seeks £26 million for the player after deciding against a new contract offer.
