Man Utd See €30M-Rated PSG Star as Part of Double Swoop Involving Brighton Ace
According to a recent report from CentreDevils, United have held direct talks over Donnarumma. The 26-year-old is seen as a possible target for manager Ruben Amorim, who is said to be a strong admirer of the PSG shot-stopper.
The outlet notes that Donnarumma's experience and quality could make him a valuable piece at Old Trafford as Amorim looks to reshape the squad this summer.
Journalist Ben Jacobs reports that PSG are asking for £26 million for Donnarumma, who has just one year left on his deal after the club opted against offering him a new contract.

The Independent's Miguel Delaney reports that Manchester United are increasingly optimistic about completing deals this summer for Gianluigi Donnarumma and Brighton & Hove Albion's Carlos Baleba.
On Monday, RMC Sport reported that Chelsea and Manchester United have inquired about Donnarumma's situation. But this case is far from settled; it is just a simple expression of interest from the two English clubs. Meanwhile, Sky Italia reports that PSG are seeking a transfer fee of around €20 million to €30 million for Donnarumma.

Liverpool target Isak controls his Newcastle future: Howe
Eddie Howe admits Newcastle striker Alexander Isak has control of his future with the club as Liverpool remain interested in signing the Sweden forward. Isak will not be involved in Newcastle's Premier League opener at Aston Villa on Saturday after reportedly telling the club he wants to leave St James' Park. The 25-year-old was the subject of a rejected £110 million ($149 million) bid from Premier League champions Liverpool earlier in August. Newcastle boss Howe is desperate to keep Isak, who helped the Magpies end their 56-year trophy drought by winning the League Cup final against Liverpool last season, while also firing them to Champions League qualification. Asked if he envisioned Isak playing for the Newcastle before the end of the summer transfer window, Howe told reporters on Friday: "As I sit here now, I don't know that. Alex will control that." Isak is reportedly refusing to train or play in an effort to force his way out of the club he joined from Real Sociedad in 2022. He did not take part in Newcastle's pre-season tour, training alone at his former club Sociedad instead. Isak has three years remaining on his Newcastle contract and it is understood he will be fined -- the maximum penalty for a single offence is two weeks' wages -- for missing a competitive match this weekend. Reports have suggested Liverpool will submit a second offer -- their initial bid was £40 million shy of Newcastle's valuation -- but Howe is confident there is a way back for the player should no deal be struck. "Yes, I believe there is, but of course discussions and talks would have to take place in order for that to happen," he said. "At the moment I would (expect him to stay), but I've got no change of feeling throughout the summer. "It's not in my hands, but he's contracted to us, so that's why I say that." Isak's stance had angered Newcastle fans and Howe hopes the striker realises how important the club has been in his development. "He's a highly intelligent person and he knows he wouldn't have the success here without everybody connected with Newcastle," he said. "This is a different moment for him and us, and we're working through that together." Howe is also focused on strengthening Newcastle's squad, regardless of Isak's transfer status. Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey is close to completing a move to Tyneside, while Brentford forward Yoane Wissa is a target for Howe. "Yes, we've been active for a few and for whatever reason, they haven't happened, I can't deny that, but we're still actively looking and I still believe that there is someone there that can fit our requirements," said Howe, who failed in approaches for Hugo Ekitike, Benjamin Sesko and Joao Pedro. smg/gj

Chelsea boss Maresca eager to sign new defender as Colwill cover
Enzo Maresca is keen for Chelsea to a sign a centre-back to cover the absence of the injured Levi Colwill. England international Colwill is set to miss most of the new season after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury in training. Tosin Adarabioyo and Trevoh Chalobah are poised to start in central defence at home to London rivals Crystal Palace in the Blues' Premier League opener on Sunday. Chelsea manager Maresca, however, has doubts over whether he can replace the 22-year-old Colwill, a key figure at Stamford Bridge, from within his current squad and has been linked with a move for Antonio Silva of Benfica. "You know how important Levi has been for us last season, for the way we want to play," Maresca told reporters on Friday. "We said many times that we are able to create chances and to attack in the right way if we are able to build in the right way. Levi was a huge part of our build-up and now he's out. "We are trying to find a solution internally, but the club know exactly what I think and we'll see what happens." The Italian boss added: "I think we need a central defender. We are looking for an internal solution but as I said, the club know exactly what I think. "We have a fantastic squad. We are happy with the squad. we are, no doubt. But we said many times that when the transfer window is open, anything can happen." Liverpool manager Arne Slot has tipped Chelsea as title contenders, having also said he expected the west Londoners to beat his side to the Premier League trophy last season. Chelsea finished fourth last term, 15 points behind champions Liverpool, and Maresca was adamant he had no interest in any so-called 'mind games' from rival managers. "I don't pay attention to what the other people say about us," he said. "Also because it's easy to say that more clubs are involved. I don't like to play this kind of game. "I like to be focused on players, try to improve and then what they say, they can say what they want." Chelsea have just returned to pre-season training following their triumphant World Club Cup campaign. "We guess we are ready," said Maresca. "It has been quite a short break, but we will try to be ready. "Unfortunately we don't have the answer, because it's something new." jdg/pb

How Atlético could hand Real Madrid a massive financial boost before the window closes
The brass at La Liga giants Real Madrid could yet be afforded a welcome boost on the monetary front by none other than city rivals Atlético this summer. That's according to , who have confirmed that the Rojiblancos are expressing a keen interest in the signature of Takefusa Kubo. Diego Simeone and co. are eager to add further depth to Atlético's options out wide before the summer is out. Two names, in turn, have emerged as the leading candidates to make the move to Spain's capital. Juventus frontman Nico González, and the aforementioned Take Kubo, of Real Sociedad. And in the case of the board at the Metropolitano moving ahead with a big-money move for the latter, Sociedad would not be the only ones to benefit… As part of the deal which sent Kubo to Anoeta back in 2022, Real Madrid secured for themselves a 50% sell-on clause. Should Atlético opt to activate the Japanese international's €60 million release clause, Los Blancos would therefore be entitled to a hefty €30 million cut. Conor Laird – GSFN
