According to reports, Turkish powerhouse Galatasaray is setting its sights on Paris Saint-Germain`s Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. The club has been actively seeking to bolster its goalkeeping position with a high-profile signing for the upcoming season.
Galatasaray`s ambitious transfer strategy has seen them approach several top-tier goalkeepers, including Milan`s Mike Maignan, Inter`s Yann Sommer, and Manchester City`s Ederson. Now, their attention has turned to Donnarumma, whose contract with PSG is set to expire in June 2026.
PSG`s Contract Dilemma
The French club is reportedly hesitant to maintain Donnarumma`s current salary of €12 million per season. This situation could potentially lead to the goalkeeper leaving as a free agent next summer, catching the attention of several European giants.
Galatasaray believes that acquiring the Italy international would make a significant statement, following their recent €75 million agreement for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. However, with interest from clubs like Chelsea, Inter, and Juventus, it seems unlikely that Donnarumma would be swayed by the offer from Istanbul.
Despite Galatasaray`s ambitious pursuit, the goalkeeper`s future remains uncertain. The coming months will likely see increased speculation about Donnarumma`s next move as his contract situation at PSG continues to evolve.
