Gianluigi Donnarumma's career at Paris St-Germain appears to be over after he was left out of Wednesday's Uefa Super Cup final against Tottenham, following the signing of Lucas Chevalier from Lille.

So where does it leave a goalkeeper favourite to be crowned the world's best this year?

Manchester City sources are describing reports they are currently in talks with Donnarumma as speculation. They haven't completely ruled out a move - should City's current number one Ederson leave - and sources at PSG say they would not be surprised if that is where the Italy international eventually ends up.

The European champions did offer Donnarumma a new deal this summer, but on Tuesday head coach Luis Enrique explained that he is now looking for a "different profile" of goalkeeper.

The 26-year-old's agent Enzo Raiola explained that the Italy international offered to reduce his salary to stay in Paris.

That is a claim denied by those at the Parc des Princes, who believe the salary offered would have made Donnarumma one of the highest paid goalkeepers in the world.

Both sides now hope a transfer away can avoid any escalation in tension, and the French champions will want a fee to profit on what was a free transfer four years ago.
