Man Utd boost as PSG close in on £54m transfer for AC Milan keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma – putting end to David De Gea pursuit

ITALY prodigy Gianluigi Donnarumma is being lined up by Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports.

The Ligue 1 outfit are looking to replace Gianluigi Buffon and have been eyeing the AC Milan stopper.

Now, Sky Italy are reporting that PSG have opened talks over the ace, 20, as they aim for a £54million swoop.

Alphonse Areola has been touted as a possible makeweight in the deal for highly-rated Italian international Donnarumma.

And the news could be a big boost for Manchester United, with moneybags PSG the main contenders for David De Gea’s signature.

The Old Trafford No1 has so far refused to sign a new deal as he enters the final year of his contract.

SunSport understands that the Red Devils are ready to offer De Gea £350,000 in a deal they think will see him commit his future.

But if another top European side secure a long-term keeper, the Spaniard may be even more open to talks.

Much will depend on how United begin next season as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer enters his first full campaign in the hotseat.

The Red Devils have already signed Dan James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka to boost their squad.

While Romelu Lukaku is being chased by Serie A outfit Inter Milan.
