Donnarumma’s agent, Enzo Raiola, has confirmed that the Italy international is interested in a move to this summer. The goalkeeper issued a statement earlier this week, confirming that he is set to leave PSG, while hinting that Enrique is to blame for his exile. To that end, theLigue 1 giants have already signed Lucas Chevalier in a €40 million (£34.5m/$47m) deal to replace him.

Donnarumma’s agent has now said that the stopper is open to a move to England, because he could become only the second Italian player to win the competition after Mario Balotelli. However, the prospect of moving to Balotelli’s former club, Man City, is seen as unlikely, as Pep Guardiola’s side have not made contact with Raiola.

Raiola told Calciomercato: “Rumours about Guardiola’s interest are (just) rumours that have arrived. The truth is thatwe never talked to Guardiola. Until recently we thought to stay in Paris, again this year. After the communication of the non-renewal I said: ‘Let’s stay another year and then go away’. This was also the will of Gigio.

“Some clubs are moving and it’s the league to which Gigio aspires, also from a professional point of view. After being in Italy and PSG, the Premier League could give you that next step forward because you would go to play in the best league in the world.

“The Premier League step is taken into account because we think that for an important player like Gigio it can be the right place. Also becausehistory says that the only Italian to have won the Premier League is Mario Balotelli. If he could become another Italian to win it, it would be a beautiful thing for us. History says that it is very difficult for Italians to win it.”

PSG will go in search of more European glory on Wednesday night when the holders take on winners in the . Donnarumma won’t be involved after being left out of the squad altogether.
