Gianluigi Donnarumma says goodbye to PSG, Premier League potential next

Paris Saint-Germain started their Ligue 1 title defense with a 1-0 win against Angers on Friday night. After the match, goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma had an emotional moment with PSG's fans, sparking speculation about his future amid talks of a potential move to Manchester City.

Donnarumma, who did not play in the match, joined his teammates on the field after the game. He was seen chatting with some players before being left alone in front of PSG's ultras. The fans cheered for him, and he reciprocated by applauding them, hinting at a possible farewell.

The 26-year-old goalkeeper stood alone for over 30 seconds, acknowledging the fans' support. His teammates later joined him, showing their affection. Donnarumma then climbed over the advertising boards to get closer to the fans, continuing to applaud in what seemed like a goodbye gesture.

The moment occurred as PSG and Manchester City were in advanced talks for a potential transfer. City's manager, Pep Guardiola, expressed uncertainty about his first-choice goalkeeper, hinting at a possible move for Ederson. City is considering Donnarumma as a replacement, with Guardiola mentioning the need for new energy in the team.

Donnarumma was informed by PSG that he is no longer part of their plans following the arrival of Lucas Chevalier. Despite his significant contributions last season, he has been advised to find a new club before the transfer window closes. Manchester United has also been linked with Donnarumma, but sources suggest a move is unlikely due to wage demands and recruitment strategies.
