Haaland's friend cancels the signing, says goodbye to Real Madrid and heads to England

The transfer market is moving forward and everything suggests that Manchester United will secure the signing of one of the best goalkeepers in Europe. According to Jan Aage Fjørtoft, a journalist very close to Erling Haaland, the "Red Devils" are close to landing Gigi Donnarumma. The goalkeeper just won the Champions League under Luis Enrique's management, but it seems that his adventure in Paris may be coming to an end.

PSG wants to finalize his sale as soon as possible to avoid another case like Kylian Mbappé, who left for free to Real Madrid. In addition to Manchester United's interest, the Italian goalkeeper is also a top-level target for Al Ittihad and Galatasaray. Both clubs would be willing to offer a considerable salary for the goalkeeper.

Meanwhile, Chelsea and Manchester City are also keeping an eye on the situation, although United remains the favorite. Rúben Amorim has requested reinforcements for the goalkeeping position ahead of next season and Gigi Donnarumma appears to be the perfect goalkeeper.

Manchester United wants changes in the goalkeeping position

André Onana, the current goalkeeper at Old Trafford, is going through a difficult time ahead of the start of the season. Manchester United's goalkeeper is sidelined due to a hamstring injury. In addition, his performances haven't fully convinced, as many believe that he doesn't provide the security that the best in the world do.

Everything indicates that Manchester United's priority is to strengthen its goalkeeping position before the official start of the season. According to rumors, the club has intensified its search for a new keeper and one of the names on its list is Emiliano Martínez.

However, Jan Aage Fjørtoft shared on his social media that Manchester United's signing would be Gigi Donnarumma. "Talks about Gigi Donnarumma's signing for Manchester United are ongoing. The process is underway", commented the renowned journalist.

Gigi Donnarumma was also linked to Real Madrid as Thibaut Courtois's successor, but the white club ruled out that possibility. The Belgian goalkeeper still has a long way to go, and has even renewed with the Madrid club. Therefore, Florentino Pérez automatically ruled out the possible signing of the Italian.
