Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City eye move for Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma – Paper Round

Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City are all credited with an interest in Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

The Sun reports he wants to sign a new deal with the French club but no agreement has been reached.

“The Italian keeper is out of contract next summer and a string of clubs are circling for a potential move on the cheap.

“Donnarumma is believed to want to stay in Paris and renew his contract, but has deferred his decision until after Sunday’s final.

“Chelsea could also be rivalled for his signature by other English clubs including Manchester United and Manchester City.”

Barcelona remain interested in signing Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, with a loan exit most likely.

Rashford’s wages are a huge stumbling block, and talks will take place between United and the player to find a compromise that allows him to depart.

“Rashford, 27, feels he is in limbo, after being told he is not in manager Ruben Amorim’s plans and his £375k-a-week wage being a major stumbling block to a move.

“It is understood that Rashford, who has three years remaining on his Old Trafford contract, is prepared to compromise on the terms of a pay-off, to help facilitate a move. But a loan looks the most-likely outcome with Barcelona keen – a move which would suit Rashford.”

Arsenal’s exciting 18-year-old forward Ethan Nwaneri is close to signing a new contract with the club.

After rumoured interest from Chelsea, Arsenal appear to have convinced him to stay.

“However, Mikel Arteta appears to have made positive steps in convincing one of his key squad members to remain at the Emirates Stadium. 

“Ethan Nwaneri enjoyed a fine first full campaign in Arsenal colours, having been tipped for big things ever since Arteta made him the youngest-ever Premier League debutant at the age of just 15 years and 181 days in September 2022.”

The Telegraph reports that Manchester United are not currently looking to sign Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa.

However there is now an expectation that they will land Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford before their pre-season tour.

“Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo is expected to arrive at United this week before the squad goes on tour with a breakthrough in negotiations expected in the coming days. The Cameroon international would join Matheus Cunha and youngster Diego Leon as summer recruits.”
