Gianluigi Donnarumma’s sudden departure from Paris Saint-Germain has ignited a three-way Premier League transfer battle, with Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea all vying for the Italian goalkeeper’s signature.
The 26-year-old, who lifted both the Champions League with PSG in 2025 and the European Championship with Italy in 2021, was informed by manager Luis Enrique that he no longer features in the club’s plans following the arrival of Lucas Chevalier.
Donnarumma’s omission from the Super Cup squad against Tottenham confirmed the split, with the goalkeeper expressing his disappointment in a pointed farewell message on social media.
Manchester City’s interest hinges on the potential sale of Ederson, with Galatasaray already reported to have agreed to personal terms with the Brazilian.
United are considering Donnarumma as they continue to reshape their squad under Ruben Amorim, while Chelsea see him as a potential upgrade in goal amid ongoing uncertainty in their ranks.
PSG are understood to be open to offers around £26 million, a figure unlikely to deter any of the English giants.
With the transfer window closing on September 1, Donnarumma’s preference for a Premier League move ensures his future will be one of the summer’s most closely watched sagas.
