The Sun reporter Chloe Beresford believes that Manchester United should target AC Milan Gianluigi Donnarumma as a potential replacement for the contract-troubled David De Gea.
The Italian shot-stopper does not just share a first name with Gianluigi Buffon. Both of them emerged as future stars when they were still very young.
While Buffon is a living legend, Donnarumma seems to be on the right path after making his debut at only 16, just like his predecessor. Now, the Milan keeper is 20 years old and is being shopped around by the Serie A outfit for Financial Fair Play reasons.
The club is under heavy financial stress which they will have to get rid of soon in order to survive as a top-tier club. They were nearing bankruptcy before Elliot Management swooped in and bailed them out.
Selling some of their best assets remain their best shot of cutting it with the FFP rules and being allowed to play in next season’s Europa League. Plus, Manchester United have already done business with the player’s agent, Mino Raiola before.
Other clients like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Sergio Romero, all ended up Old Trafford through him. As De Gea’s contract runs down to its final season, United might be wise to consider cashing in on him this summer.
The Paris Saint-Germain interests are significant and it would be much better to sell him now than to lose him later. Donnarumma might still not be a finished product but he has shown the pedigree of how good he truly could be in the Europea top-flight.
