Gianluigi Donnarumma open to Bayern Munich or Real Madrid move

Considered one of the best goalkeepers in the world, Donnarumma would not be short of options should he let his contract run out next summer.
The player's early indications include a move to the Bundesliga or La Liga with either Bayern or Real, respectively.
Manuel Neuer Replacement?
Should Donnarumma opt to go to Bayern, the Italian international would serve as the ideal replacement for Manuel Neuer, who could very well retire at the end of next season.
The Bundesliga champions recently brought in youngster Jonas Urbig from FC Köln this winter with the idea that the 21-year-old would work as an apprentice to Neuer.

However, should Donnarumma come to the club, he could, in theory, serve as Bayern's next number one for many years to come.
Should the Italian move as a free agent next summer, it will surely be one of the biggest coups for any club, considering the player has a market value of €40m.

Pochettino plays down Spurs return rumors
United States head coach Mauricio Pochettino has distanced himself from talk of a return to Tottenham Hotspur (Joe Buglewicz) USA head coach Mauricio Pochettino has played down rumors linking him with the vacant managerial position at his former club Tottenham Hotspur, following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou on Friday. Argentine Pochettino was in charge of Spurs for five years from 2014 and took the team to the Champions League final but never won a trophy with the North London club. Advertisement Despite having signed a two year contract in September to lead the USA at the 2026 World Cup, which they are co-hosting with Canada and Mexico, Pochettino's name has appeared in bookmakers' lists of favorites for the Spurs job and in several UK reports. But asked on Saturday about the links, in his post-match press conference following the USA's 2-1 home friendly defeat to Turkey, Pochettino played down the talk. "After I left in 2019, every time that I was free, and the place of the position of the manager or head coach in Tottenham Hotspur (was vacant), my name is appearing on the list," Pochettino said. "If you have seen the rumors, I think there are 100 coaches in the list. I think, don't be worried about that," he added. Advertisement Pochettino has talked in the past about his remaining affection for Spurs and has never ruled out the possibility of returning to the club at some point. But he suggested the timing was not right for a second chance with his old team. "If something happened, you for sure you will see, but we cannot talk about this type of thing, because I think today, it's not real. It's not realistic. And look at where I am, where we are," he said in the stadium press room in Hartford, Connecticut. "And the thing is, the answer is so clear, no? But we're talking about it because it's my club, like Newells or Espanyol," he added. Advertisement Postecoglou was fired just 16 days after the Australian ended Tottenham's 17-year trophy drought by winning the Europa League. Postecoglou led Tottenham to a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in Bilbao to clinch the north Londoners' first European prize in 41 years and secure a place in next season's Champions League. The former Celtic boss paid the price for Tottenham's worst domestic season since they were relegated from the top flight in 1976-77. The USA have now lost three games in a row, following losses to Panama and Canada in March's CONCACAF Nations League but Pochettino was upbeat about his team's encouraging display after question marks about the attitude of his team in recent games. Advertisement "This attitude I want to continue for the future until we arrive to the World Cup … that is the only way we can improve," he said. "If I decide in September (to have a) different roster, what I want is the same level of commitment, attitude, not to complain (about) this and that," he added. sev/bb
