Sources: Ruben Amorim personally requests Man United to sign 26-year-old CL winner
Manchester United have backed manager Ruben Amorim this summer with attacking signings.
Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko have all arrived at Old Trafford this summer as the club provide Amorim the right platform to perform this season after their poor performances last season.
Their transfer business is far from over with the Red Devils chasing Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba and Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Donnarumma’s time at Paris Saint-Germain appears to be coming to an end.
The Italian goalkeeper has been omitted from PSG’s squad for the upcoming UEFA Super Cup, a move widely seen as a signal that the club is ready to move on.
Gianluigi Donnarumma is expected to leave PSG
Sources close to the agent industry have informed CaughtOffside that relations between Donnarumma and the PSG hierarchy have broken down, and with his contract set to expire in 2026, the Ligue 1 champions are open to selling him this summer rather than risk losing him for free.
Man United are believed to be at the front of the queue for his signature. Amorim has made Donnarumma’s signing a personal priority, viewing him as the ideal replacement for Andre Onana.
The Red Devils are set to meet with his agent, Enzo Raiola, later this week to discuss a deal that could run until 2030. While the proposed salary would be below €18 million per year, PSG’s asking price is around €30 million (£26m).
Donnarumma currently earns approximately €850,000 per month, over €10 million annually, and has already rejected a renewal offer from PSG that included a reduced base salary supplemented by performance-based bonuses.
Man United lead the race to sign the Italian goalkeeper
Donnarumma is understood to be open to joining another top European club, and a move to Old Trafford holds strong appeal.
Even without Champions League football next season, United’s history, resources, and current rebuilding project are attractive factors.
The 26-year-old’s situation has caught the attention of Chelsea and Inter Milan, while Real Madrid are monitoring closely with a view to potentially signing him for free in 2026, when Thibaut Courtois will be nearing 34.
However, Amorim’s Man United remain the most likely destination for the Italian goalkeeper.
The goalkeeper helped PSG win the treble last season by making 47 appearances for them in all competitions.
