Manchester United Had Chance to Sign Donnarumma Before City Move

Manchester United was presented with the opportunity to acquire Gianluigi Donnarumma prior to his transfer to Manchester City.

Donnarumma’s Transfer Details

Donnarumma left Paris Saint-Germain for City during the closing moments of the summer transfer window.

Initial Offer to United

However, the Telegraph reports that the Italian goalkeeper was initially proposed to United before finalizing his deal with City.

Financial Aspects of the Deal

• United had the chance to sign Donnarumma for a fee of £25 million.
• His representatives communicated that he desired a contract valued at approximately £100 million.

Despite this potential acquisition, the Manchester United management assessed the financial implications and decided against pursuing Donnarumma.

As a result, United opted to secure Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp on the final day of the transfer window.
