🚨💣 NEW: Paris Saint-Germain have set a price tag of at least £26 million for Gianluigi Donnarumma after deciding against offering the Italian goalkeeper a new deal, according to Ben Jacobs.
This revelation could send shockwaves through the transfer market, as Donnarumma’s availability presents a rare opportunity to secure one of Europe’s top keepers for a relatively modest fee in today’s market.
At just 26 years old, Donnarumma is entering the prime years for a goalkeeper and already boasts a glittering CV — a European Championship winner with Italy, over a decade of first-team football at the highest level, and experience in both Serie A and Ligue 1, plus the Champions League. Despite some criticism for his distribution and occasional lapses, his shot-stopping ability, command of the penalty area, and big-game temperament remain world-class.
For a club like Manchester United — who are still fine-tuning their squad under Ineos — this deal feels like a no-brainer. £26 million for a long-term solution between the sticks could prove to be an absolute bargain, especially considering that goalkeepers of Donnarumma’s calibre typically fetch fees well north of £50 million. With the right defensive setup and coaching, he could be the undisputed No.1 at Old Trafford for the next 8 years or more.
The move could also spark a reshuffle at PSG, who might look to reinvest in a more ball-playing goalkeeper to suit Luis Enrique’s style. Meanwhile, United could seize the moment to lock in an elite shot-stopper before rivals like Chelsea, Newcastle, or even Juventus enter the race.
In the modern game, top-class goalkeepers are as valuable as elite strikers — and if United want to compete for the biggest trophies, a safe, commanding, and reliable last line of defence is non-negotiable. Donnarumma for £26M? That’s not just good business, it’s daylight robbery.
