FALSE REPORT: Gianluigi Donnarumma to Manchester United Is NOT Happening
Despite widespread excitement and viral headlines suggesting otherwise, reports linking Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma with a £78 million move to Manchester United are entirely false.
There is currently no truth to the claims that Donnarumma has signed for the Red Devils, nor is there any indication of a medical or formal announcement being prepared.
Reputable sources including Fabrizio Romano, Sky Sports, The Athletic, and BBC Sport have not reported any such deal, and there is no reliable confirmation from either Manchester United or Paris Saint-Germain regarding the goalkeeper’s supposed transfer.
The rumour claims that United have triggered a £78 million release clause in Donnarumma’s contract and that the player is scheduled to undergo a medical in Manchester next week. However, this information has no factual backing.
In reality, there is no publicly known release clause in Donnarumma’s PSG contract, and no major transfer journalist or insider has confirmed a move of this magnitude.
The story appears to be a fabrication, with no grounding in verifiable transfer news.
In terms of Manchester United’s current goalkeeping situation, André Onana remains the undisputed No.1 at Old Trafford.
Signed from Inter Milan last summer, Onana is seen as a key figure under Erik ten Hag, and there have been no credible links suggesting United are looking to replace him.
With the club currently focused on other areas of reinforcement, particularly in midfield and attack, a record-breaking goalkeeper transfer seems not only unlikely but also unnecessary.
As for Donnarumma, he continues to be the first-choice goalkeeper at Paris Saint-Germain.
The Italian international remains highly valued by the French club, and there is no indication from PSG that they are open to selling him. The Euro 2020 winner is under contract and is part of PSG’s long-term project.
Not a single trustworthy outlet has connected Donnarumma with a potential exit, let alone a switch to Manchester United.
To sum up, the viral posts and headlines claiming that Donnarumma is on his way to Old Trafford are pure fiction.
There is no £78 million deal, no medical scheduled, and no agreement in place between the player, PSG, and United.
This story is an example of how quickly misinformation can spread, especially during the transfer window.
Fans are advised to rely on trusted sources and official club announcements for accurate transfer updates.
Always check the credibility of your sources. If it’s not from Fabrizio Romano, Sky Sports, or a club statement, chances are it’s just another transfer rumour.
