Man United 'join the hunt to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma from PSG'... but 'face hurdle in race for goalkeeper's signature'
Manchester United have reportedly made an enquiry to Paris Saint-Germain about the availability of Gianluigi Donnarumma but a deal is seemingly improbable. Andre Onana has been the No 1 goalkeeper at Old Trafford for the past two seasons, following his £47.1million arrival from Inter Milan in July 2023. Since moving to Manchester, Onana — whose last ever game for Inter was in the UEFA Champions League final — has seen his stock fall significantly. A string of high-profile errors have led to calls for United to replace the 29-year-old, with United understood to interested in Donnarumma, 26. Donnarumma has just one year left to run on his current contract with PSG, where he has spent the past four seasons. Despite this, the Italian No 1 would likely still command a hefty transfer fee, not to mention wages well in excess of Onana's. According to journalist Marc Mechenoua, United are unlikely to pursue their interest in Donnarumma any further unless they are first able to raise funds and lower their wage bill by moving on several high-earners. Mechenoua also claims that Chelsea have contacted PSG to ask what it might take to prise Donnarumma away from Paris this summer. More to follow.

LeBron James, Nikola Jokić reportedly meet over $5bn upstart to rival NBA
A high-profile meeting last week in France between LeBron James, his business partner Maverick Carter and Nikola Jokić's agent Miško Ražnatović was about plans for a new $5bn international basketball league, according to a report by Front Office Sports, which cited multiple sources familiar with the matter. The proposed league, spearheaded by Carter, would feature six men's and six women's teams that travel together to eight global cities in a touring format. Inspired by LIV Golf and Formula One, the league aims to offer players equity stakes, something NBA rules currently prohibit for active athletes. Ražnatović, a powerful figure in European basketball, posted a photo of the meeting on Instagram over the weekend. The caption, tagged in Saint-Tropez, teased: 'The summer of 2025 is the perfect time to make big plans for the fall of 2026.' That photo fueled speculation about a potential team-up between James and Jokić, but sources confirmed to Front Office Sports the meeting was unrelated to the NBA. This article includes content provided by Instagram. We ask for your permission before anything is loaded, as they may be using cookies and other technologies. To view this content, click 'Allow and continue'. Carter began pitching the league earlier this year, with Bloomberg reporting in January that he is seeking to raise $5bn in funding. Backers already include the Singapore government, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, SC Holdings, UBS and investors such as Skype co-founder Geoff Prentice and former Facebook executive Grady Burnett. Unlike the WNBA-adjacent Unrivaled league, which allows dual participation, Carter's venture is expected to require full-time commitments, effectively ruling out NBA participation unless league rules change. The NBA, meanwhile, is pursuing its own expansion into Europe. Commissioner Adam Silver and deputy commissioner Mark Tatum met with UK prime minister Keir Starmer in London last week to discuss plans for a Europe-based NBA league in partnership with Fiba. As part of that effort, the NBA announced that the Orlando Magic and Memphis Grizzlies will play regular-season games in Berlin and London in January 2026. EuroLeague officials have pushed back against the NBA's expansion talks. 'We said to them, like we said publicly, we don't believe that the new league is something that would help the market,' EuroLeague CEO Paulius Motiejūnas told the Athletic on Tuesday.
