The report states that United will meet with Donnarumm's agent Enzo Raiola this week to discuss terms.

A deal until 2030 has been mooted but the salary would have to be below €18 million per year.

PSG's asking price for Donnarumma is around €30m.

Donnarumma to leave PSG

Donnarumma's relationship with PSG has completely broken down amidst difficulties over renewing his contract that expires in 2026.

PSG wanted to reduce his base salary, which is currently €10m a year net, and give him performance-related add-ons instead.

Donnarumma rejected this and the European champions made the decision to sign Lucas Chevalier from Lille.

Donnarumma was left out of the European Super Cup squad to play against Tottenham this week in a clear sign that he has no future.

Donnarumma is understood to be open to a move to Old Trafford despite them being out of Europe.

Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Man City, Galatasaray and Inter have all been linked too.

The Italian is arguably the best goalkeeper in the world right now after a series of sensational performances in the Champions League triumph last season.

Donnarumma played a pivotal role in PSG winning the tournament with decisive performances on their run to the final.

Against Liverpool in the last-16, Donnarumma made two big saves in the penalty shootout from Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones to take PSG through.

Against Aston Villa in the next round, he performed a series of impossible saves to prevent a stirring second leg comeback in Birmingham.

And then in the semi-final success over Arsenal, Donnarumma made four miraculous saves - two in each leg - to ensure PSG won both legs and 3-1 on aggregate.

In the final itself, Donnarumma had little to do as PSG thrashed Inter 5-0 in Munich.

Having debuted at the age of 16, Donnarumma already has 10 years of experience and over 400 club appearances under his belt for Milan and PSG.

He also has been capped 74 times for Italy, winning Player of the Tournament at Euro 2020 as the Azzurri won the trophy.

He has a particularly impressive record against English teams and on English soil, most memorably in the Euro 2020 final shootout win against England.
