Inter Transfer Market: Spotlight on Gianluigi Donnarumma After the Chaos at City

Gianluigi Donnarumma’s spectacular performance for the national team against France is still fresh in everyone’s minds, just as rumors about the former Milan goalkeeper’s future are multiplying. The turmoil engulfing Manchester City—which was found guilty by a Premier League committee of violating 115 Financial Fair Play rules—could also affect the goalkeeper from Campania.

Manchester City could, in fact, be relegated next season—a scenario that could lead to the 1999-born goalkeeper’s departure from Manchester and England. Half the world would be clamoring for him, but his future could involve a return to Italy: the player, who was already linked last year to Juventus and Inter, is being monitored by the Nerazzurri ahead of next season.

Inter has currently named Josep Martinez as the starting goalkeeper and Provedel as his backup, but a potential move for Donnarumma cannot be ruled out if the opportunity arises. This is reported by calciomercato.com. The former PSG goalkeeper, who commands a massive salary of 15 million euros, is also being tracked by several Saudi clubs, but in all likelihood he’ll want to remain in top-tier soccer next year as well, should Manchester City’s situation truly take a turn for the worse.

Donnarumma was the best player on the field in Friday night’s Nations League match between France and Italy. “He’s the best goalkeeper in the world because when he has to make a save, he makes it; he saved us when he had to,” declared Azzurri head coach Roberto Mancini.
