Gianluigi Donnarumma remains settled at the Etihad Stadium, yet Serie A clubs Juventus and Inter Milan are actively monitoring his situation for potential transfer opportunities. The Italian goalkeeper’s comfort in England has not deterred interest from top Italian sides, according to reports from Calciomercato.

Should Manchester City’s circumstances deteriorate due to ongoing legal proceedings, sources indicate that Donnarumma might be among the first players to depart. This possibility has prompted both Inter and Juve to maintain close surveillance on the Citizens’ squad dynamics. Their interest in the keeper predates his permanent move away from Paris Saint-Germain.

Goalkeeping depth in Italy

Inter Milan currently faces uncertainty regarding their primary goalkeeper selection for the 2027/28 season. Josep Martinez serves as the starter, with Ivan Provedel acting as the backup option. Meanwhile, Juventus has secured Neto as a temporary replacement for Kamil Garbara, who is sidelined by injury. Garbara typically functions as the second-choice behind Guglielmo Vicario.

Financial implications of return

Despite these existing options, both clubs view Donnarumma as a significant upgrade over their current personnel, making any opportunity to sign him highly attractive. However, a return to Italy would require the player to accept a substantial reduction in wages. Looking further ahead, a potential move to Saudi Arabia remains an alternative pathway for the goalkeeper.
