Overview

• Paris Saint-Germain decided to sell Gianluigi Donnarumma after pay-cut renewal talks stalled to avoid a free exit.
• The move follows PSG’s new policy against losing stars on free transfers, enacted after Kylian Mbappé’s departure last summer.
• Galatasaray are reportedly preparing a formal bid and clubs such as Chelsea, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are also monitoring his availability.
• Manchester United have placed Donnarumma on their shortlist to replace André Onana and are open to £20 million offers for Onana to help finance the transfer.
• PSG have earmarked Lille’s Lucas Chevalier as the preferred successor should Donnarumma be sold this window.
