Gianluigi Donnarumma to Man United transfer saga continues as Fabrizio Romano drops double fresh update

Ruben Amorim is getting closer to potentially signing a striker, with United in talks over landing Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig. But he still has a decision to make at the goalkeeper spot.

It looks as though Andre Onana will stay, despite reports earlier in the transfer window suggesting he could leave. One name that has been linked to replacing him is PSG star Gianluigi Donnarumma, as it seems the Ligue 1 giants are close to signing Lucas Chevalier from Lille.

The Italy international has been linked to Man United and Premier League rivals Chelsea, who are also looking to sign a ‘keeper amid the uncertain future of Robert Sanchez.

Fabrizio Romano provides Gianluigi Donnarumma to Man United update

If Man United were to be able to sign the PSG goalkeeper, it would certainly secure Ruben Amorim’s defence and help the United boss propel his side up to the European places, but it could be a tough task to land him.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano has provided two updates on Donnarumma and the potential for the 26-year-old to move to Old Trafford this summer. Firstly, he said via Caught Offside: “No talks ongoing at this stage between Gigio Donnarumma and Man United or Chelsea. Nothing concrete ongoing despite reports.”

Romano’s first update clearly suggests that there is interest from Man United, but they are beginning to speak with either the player or PSG. His second update indicates that a Donnarumma to United move could be less likely, however.

The transfer guru posted on X: “Gigio Donnarumma and his camp do not rule out to stay at Paris Saint-Germain. Even with contract expiring in June 2026 and Chevalier coming soon, Gigio could stay and compete for his spot as he did with Navas… …and then, decide his future in the next months.”

So, it could be that Man United have to look at alternative targets if Donnarumma decides to stay at Luis Enrique’s Champions League-winning side for the final year of his current contract.

Which other goalkeeper could Man United sign?

If Romano’s reports do lead to United missing out on the Italian stopper, United may have to consider one of their other target. They have been linked to one, who is more of a competitor for Andre Onana rather than an out-and-out replacement.

Man United hold an interest in Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens, who at the age of 23, is more of a long-term option for the keeper spot at Old Trafford. Reports have said that the Belgian is open to a move to Man United, but he also remains very happy at Antwerp.

Premier League rivals Sunderland have been credited with interest in Lammens too, as they look to strengthen before they attempt to survive relegation under Regis Le Bris this season.

Lammens has an estimated market value of around £8m, although it is likely that the Belgian side will demand much more based on how important he is to the team, and his potential to improve. He made 44 appearances last season, conceding 56 goals and keeping 10 clean sheets.
