Real Madrid Confidencial Real Madrid turned down Donnarumma and the reason comes to light
The Whites never intended to carry out the signing of the Italian at any time
The name of Gianluigi Donnarumma has been one of the most talked about during the transfer window. The Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper, who had won everything, was left without a place at the Parc des Princes. After the signing of Lucas Chevalier, expressly requested by Luis Enrique, the Italian keeper was forced to look for a new destination.
Throughout the summer, several clubs were linked to the future of Gianluigi Donnarumma. Among them, in theory, was Real Madrid, which has the best goalkeeper in the world between the posts. However, according to "Defensa Central", the white club was never interested in signing the Italian.
In fact, "Defensa Central" has revealed the two reasons why Gianluigi Donnarumma did not sign for Real Madrid.
Poor relations with Paris Saint-Germain and a well-covered goal
The relationship between both clubs is not the best after all the episodes involving Kylian Mbappé. At Real Madrid they did not want to carry out any kind of negotiation with the Parisians, so there was no real interest in the goalkeeper.
Moreover, the most obvious reason is Thibaut Courtois's level. Although Gianluigi Donnarumma is younger, the Belgian keeps showing his abilities every weekend. For many, Real Madrid has the best goalkeeper in the world at the moment.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid also has Andriy Lunin in its squad. The Ukrainian has less name recognition than Gianluigi Donnarumma, but he has already proved he has the level to guard the white goal.
Heading to Manchester City
He will not play for Real Madrid, but Gianluigi Donnarumma will have the chance to visit Bernabéu this season. The Italian signed with Manchester City, which will be one of the eight opponents for the white club in the regular phase.
Manchester City took advantage of the opportunity and closed his signing for €30 million.PepGuardiola was looking for a good replacement for Ederson and found a top-level piece in the Italian. It remains to be seen whether the Catalan coach decides to play the former Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper or Trafford, who also arrived this summer.
