Manchester United are preparing for a major shift in goalkeeping personnel, with Paris Saint-Germain’s Gianluigi Donnarumma emerging as the club’s primary target to replace André Onana.
According to reports from CaughtOffside, United are ready to table a €60 million offer to secure the services of the Italian international, signalling their intent to make a decisive move in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Onana’s future at Old Trafford appears increasingly uncertain following a turbulent first season in Manchester.
Despite moments of promise, the Cameroonian goalkeeper has struggled for consistency, drawing interest from Saudi clubs reportedly prepared to offer a substantial fee to tempt him away from the Premier League.
United, aware of the likelihood of Onana’s departure, have moved swiftly to identify a replacement.

Gianluigi Donnarumma, currently first-choice at PSG, is said to be top of the shortlist for incoming manager Ruben Amorim, who is expected to oversee a significant rebuild at the club.
To lure the 25-year-old away from the Parc des Princes, Manchester United are prepared to commit €60 million—a figure that underscores both the urgency of the situation and Donnarumma’s standing in European football.
Despite a season of mixed reviews in the French capital, the former AC Milan keeper has maintained a strong reputation, having made 38 appearances and conceding 38 goals, averaging one per match.
Donnarumma’s performances this season have not been without scrutiny, yet his shot-stopping ability and commanding presence continue to draw praise.
For United, his arrival would represent a long-term investment in a position that has been in flux since the departure of David de Gea.
“Manchester United has no intention of doing things by halves,” reported CaughtOffside, highlighting the club’s readiness to meet PSG’s valuation.
A key factor that could influence the deal is United’s European campaign.

Victory in the Europa League final would secure their return to the Champions League, a prospect that may appeal to Donnarumma, who has regularly featured in top-tier continental competitions throughout his career.
For PSG, Donnarumma’s departure would present Luis Enrique with a chance to reshape his defensive setup and potentially bring in a goalkeeper more aligned with his tactical preferences.
The move, if completed, promises to be one of the defining transfers of the summer window, potentially altering the goalkeeping landscape across two of Europe’s biggest clubs.
