No one had seen this one coming before. FC Barcelona, which wishes to recruit a goalkeeper to definitively turn the page Marc-André ter Stegen, would have its sights set on Gianluigi Donnarumma. The PSG goalkeeper, increasingly criticized in the capital, could have a change of scenery next summer.
The former AC Milan player, who has never been unanimous since Luis Enrique took the reins of the Parisian team, continues to lose points during European evenings. And Deco would like to take the opportunity to enlist it in its suitcases.
However, the Portuguese sports director will have a lot to do. According to E-NewsChelsea, Manchester City and United have also expressed interest in the Italian giant. The red-and-blue management would be willing to negotiate from 45 million euros.
Gianluigi Donnarumma replaced at PSG by Courtois or Oblak?
This sum, even more substantial with the savings of “Gigio's” XXL salary, would be directly used to recruit his replacement. And indeed, several names are already circulating internally. The first is none other than Thibaut Courtois. The Real Madrid goalkeeper, under contract until June 2026, has been the priority of the French club for several years.
However, the reciprocal is not guaranteed. The Belgian wants to continue his career with Meringues. It remains to be seen whether the figures proposed by Doha will turn its head, or not. In any case, Luis Enrique would have another wish. The Asturian particularly appreciates Jan Oblak.
Premier League? Bundesliga? La Liga? Nope. Here, we thrill to the matches of the French and Portuguese championships. Vitinha and João Neves are excellent reasons to love football.
