Transfer Rumours: Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan and Barcelona

Donnarumma To PSG

Paris Saint-Germain have begun negotiations with AC Milan over the transfer of Milan’s young superstar goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. The 20-year-old has had mixed results since taking over as Milan’s first choice keeper four years ago, at the age of 16. But he is still immensely talented and would be an instant upgrade for PSG.

Milan are hoping to get a bid of around €50 million, according to Fabrizio Romano. However, PSG are currently unwilling to pay that price. Romano is also reporting that PSG will consider an offer of Alphonse Areola, their current keeper, plus €20 million.

That seems like a deal that could get done. Donnarumma’s wages are too high for a club like Milan, going through the financial issues they are. Areola is a solid keeper, entering his prime, on relatively low wages for PSG standards.

Latest Neymar Transfer Rumours

Barcelona Vice-President Jordi Cardoner has made some comments about Neymar during a presentation. Cardoner was asked ‘several times’ about whether or not Neymar wanted to return to Barcelona, according to Mundo Deportivo journalist Xavier Munoz. Cardoner said,

“Neymar wants to return and has said so, but the issue is not has placed on the table. It is not correct that Barcelona is worried about the signing of Neymar. Actually, it is an operation that we have not addressed, we do not know if it will come to fruition ”

Those quotes push back the timeline of an already arduous transfer saga. These quotes come a day after AS published a report that PSG had already rejected Barcelona’s first approach. Eduardo Cornago’s report states that if Barcelona want Neymar, they are not only going to have to reach the €222 million that PSG paid.
