Manchester United are in talks to sign Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, according to Norwegian pundit and former footballer Jan Aage Fjortoft.
The Red Devils have been linked with the Italy international after it emerged that he could leave the reigning Champions League winners this summer, and a concrete offer could be forthcoming from the Old Trafford club.
The reports linking Donnarumma to Man United were dismissed by some, but the reliable Fjortoft insists they are true and it will be intriguing to see what happens in the final month of the transfer window.
The Red Devils are currently without Andre Onana due to a hamstring injury, and he could be unavailable when the 2025-26 Premier League campaign kicks off on August 17 against Arsenal.
Man United head coach Ruben Amorim appears not to trust Altay Bayindir, benching the Turkish against Bournemouth in their second game of the Premier League Summer Series in the early hours of today.
Third-choice goalkeeper Tom Heaton got the nod between the sticks instead, and the Red Devils could do with someone like Donnarumma in goal.
The 26-year-old featured in 47 games across all competitions last season, putting in some impressive performances along the way, and he is without any iota of doubt an upgrade on Onana.
He has played over 400 games professionally across ten seasons, and he hardly commits errors given his confidence and overall quality.
The Italian has won it all club level, picking up four Ligue 1 titles, two French Cups, three French Super Cups and one Italian Super Cup while at AC Milan.
Donnarumma also won the 2020 European Championship with his country, and he was named the Player of the Tournament at the competition and included in the Team of the Tournament.
He has picked up several individual awards along the way, landing the Yashin Trophy and making the FIFA FIFPro World XI in 2021.
