Paris Saint-Germain star Gianluigi Donnarumma has been linked with a sensational summer switch to Manchester United and his agent has already offered his thoughts on a switch
Gianluigi Donnarumma’s agent has already dismissed one potential rival to Manchester United by ruling out a switch to Napoli. The Italian goalkeeper faces an uncertain future with European champions Paris Saint-Germain.
He has just a year left on his deal with the French giants and despite PSG chiefs attempting to tie him down, an agreement has yet to be found. That has opened the door to United, rivals Manchester City and Real Madrid.
Reports have also suggested that that Donnarumma has been discussing the prospect of a move to the Premier League with his Italian teammates. Meanwhile, Donnarumma’s agent Enzo Raiola has already denied that talks have been held with Serie A champions Napoli, who were also credited with an interest.
Speaking to Radio CRC via Calciomercato, he said: “It’s pure fantasy. I’ve an excellent relationship with Director Giovanni Manna at [Napoli], but we’ve never discussed Gigio.
“It’s an obvious question; many would like him, but only a few can afford him. He feels good in Paris, we’re at the European champion club, so we have no complaints. We are working on a renewal [with PSG].”

He added: “His mother is a huge Napoli fan, and she gets anxious watching their games. Gigio is connected to that.”
Another side who have been linked with Donnarumma is former club AC Milan. The 26-year-old originally left the club to complete a free transfer to PSG in 2021.
And Raiola has claimed that he would be open to a return to the San Siro. He said: “I have never ruled out interest from the top Italian clubs, but there has never been a negotiation, let’s see. He is still young, I have to squeeze him for at least another 10 years.
“At the moment, however, it is very difficult to see Donnarumma in the Italian championship, I’m not just talking about numbers but also about the sporting project. In Italy, beyond Inter who reached the Champions League final, there are Milan and Juve who are struggling, they are in the process of reorganizing: these factors are fundamental.

“A return to Milan? Why not? We took Pogba from Manchester United to Juventus and then back to Juventus. There are no impossible things. Milan, even if it is not at its best, is always a very respectable club, which Gigio will always thank. They pampered and raised him, so Gigio will always have an important affection and gratitude towards the Rossoneri.”
Donnarumma has already spoken out on his own future and refused to commit his future to PSG. He said: “New deal or leaving? We will see what happens… I don’t know. It’s time to enjoy this magic season now. I will go on holiday and then we will see.”
