Gianluigi Donnarumma is prepared to remain on the sidelines for up to six months if he cannot secure a suitable move away from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, according to reports in France. The developments follow the withdrawal of Manchester United and Chelsea from the race, leaving Manchester City as the reported frontrunners.<\/p>\n
Pep Guardiola\u2019s side are said to have reached personal terms with the goalkeeper, but negotiations with PSG over a transfer fee have been fractious. The European champions have reportedly reduced their valuation in an effort to move the player on, with various reports suggesting PSG would accept as little as \u20ac30 million (\u00a325.9 million, $34.9 million) for a player with one year remaining on his contract.<\/p>\n
City are understood to be pressing for a much lower fee. L\u2019\u00c9quipe claim Manchester City are considering a \u20ac15 million offer, a figure described as well below PSG\u2019s asking price and therefore unacceptable to the French club. Despite the stalled talks, Donnarumma is not thought to be hurried or alarmed by the situation and has been described as \u201cready\u201d to stay in Paris until the January transfer window opens.<\/p>\n
If the transfer window closes on Sep. 1 with Donnarumma still registered at PSG, attention will turn to how Enrique responds to a prolonged stalemate. The goalkeeper\u2019s willingness to wait would allow PSG longer to find a buyer, but it also hands the player control over his next step if he prefers to avoid a move he does not consider right.<\/p>\n
The coming weeks will determine whether an agreement can be found between the clubs or whether Donnarumma follows through on reports that he will sit out until the midseason window.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
