Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim fuelled transfer speculation on Friday after smiling when asked about the possible signing of Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The 25-year-old Italy international is expected to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer after failing to agree a contract extension. United are among several clubs reportedly interested in the goalkeeper, who has signalled he would be open to a move to Old Trafford.
Fans Push for Goalkeeper Change
Donnarumma’s potential arrival has strong backing from United supporters, many of whom have criticised André Onana’s form since his arrival last season. Reports in England claim the club has already held preliminary talks with the player’s camp.
A fan video circulating online shows Amorim signing autographs before being asked if Donnarumma is joining United. The Portuguese coach responded with a broad smile and laugh, avoiding a direct answer a gesture that quickly sparked excitement on social media.
Transfer Fee Within Reach — Salary a Challenge
With just one year left on his PSG contract, the French club is reportedly seeking around £26 million (R$190 million) for the goalkeeper a figure well within United’s budget.
However, salary negotiations could prove more complicated. Donnarumma currently earns €12.7 million (R$80.3 million) per year in Paris, and sources suggest he would only leave PSG for a higher wage package.
