PSG star sparks transfer frenzy with Man City and Liverpool involved in four-way fight to sign him

A PSG star could ‘join’ a Premier League club after falling out of favour in Paris – and four European teams ‘want’ to sign him.

As expected, the French outfit are top of Ligue 1, having won 10 of their 13 games in the league this term, and they are yet to taste defeat domestically at least.

Luis Enrique’s side are seemingly moving away from the ‘superstars’ of the past, with Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé all departing the club in recent years.

However, it is another top player who could be shown the exit door by Enrique.

Gianluigi Donnarumma was left out of PSG’s starting XI during the 1-0 Champions League defeat against Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

Ironically, his replacement, Matvey Safonov, made an error which led to the Bavarian’s goal.

The Russian failed to get a solid hand on Joshua Kimmich’s 38^th-minute corner, which allowed defender Kim Min-Jae to head home from close range.

After the match in Germany, the PSG boss explained the reasons for the decision.

"We knew we would face challenges with their pressing, and in such cases, the only free player is often the goalkeeper,” he said.

“In this match, we needed the goalkeeper to help us play out from the back under the opponent’s press,” added Enrique.

Although, the Italian ‘keeper returned to the line-up for the French champions' 1-1 draw against Nantes on Saturday, reports from Gazzetta dello Sport suggest Inter Milan, Bayern, Manchester City and Liverpool are all ‘monitoring’ his situation.

Donnarumma’s current PSG contract is set to expire in June 2026, and talks of a new deal are “on hold”, according to Football Italia.

It is unclear, if the player would prefer to join a particular club or even if he wants to move on from the French giants at all.

A move to Liverpool would arguably be unlikely given the fact they already have Giorgi Mamardashvili joining on July 1, 2025, to add to their already impressive goalkeeping unit of Alisson and Caoimhín Kelleher.

As for Man City, Ederson and backup Stefan Ortega are classy shotstoppers, so one of the pair would likely have to leave the Premier League champions to provide space for the Italian.

Inter’s Yann Sommer is still a top operator, and given the fact Donnarumma came through city rival AC Milan’s academy, a potential deal seems unlikely.

However, a move to Bayern could make sense.

Manuel Neuer turns 39 in March and has struggled with injury in recent years.

And his contract is set to expire at the end of the season, which could provide an opportunity to bring a new ‘keeper in.
