Since his big rise onto the scene at the tender age of 16, Gianluigi Donnarumma has been almost an obsession for Juventus.
The young goalkeeper had an unhealthy love-hate relationship with Milan and their supporters alike, and an eventual exit seemed inevitable.
The summer of 2021 offered the perfect opportunity for the Bianconeri to seize the services of the 23-year-old goalkeeper who was ending his contract with the Rossoneri.
However, the Euro 2020 hero ended up signing for Paris Saint Germain, much to the dismay of Old Lady supporters.
But according to L’Equipe via ilBianconero, Juventus are still hoping to secure a deal for Donnarumma, and could try again next summer.
According to the source, the Italian’s performances in the French capital have not always been convincing. For example, he came out with a mixed bag in the first match of the Champions League against Juve.
On the one hand, he disrupted Dusan Vlahovic and Arek Milik with fabulous saves, but on the other, he made a howl that allowed Weston McKennie to head the ball into an empty net.
The report mentions how Keylor Navas remains on the bench, eager for the opportunity to retain his starting job.
Juve FC says
As always, a transfer report in September should be taken with a grain of salt. Although Donnarumma could end up in Turin at some point in his career, a lot could change between now and the end of the season.
Fortunately for Max Allegri, he has a formidable duo between the sticks in Wojciech Szczesny and Mattia Perin, making the goalkeeping department the least of the club’s worries.
