Today’s rumours are celebrating a new Sorry album

f you had suggested, as Gianluigi Donnarumma’s Brobdingnagian hands were extinguishing Arsenal’s Champions League hopes in May, that Paris Saint-Germain would bundle him out the door marked Do One a few months later, you’d have been laughed out of the football WhatsApp group faster than you could say “Toxic Hipsters”.
Who’s laughing now? You are! Or at least you would be had the above scenario been a representation of reality rather than the Rumour Mill’s exhausted imagination. Luis Enrique wants a different profile of goalkeeper – imagine if someone had used that phrase within earshot of Brian Clough or Bill Shankly – and Donnarumma may well be using his giant frame and even bigger aura in the Premier League this season.
Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United are among the sides unable to believe their potential luck. If Pep Guardiola draws the 6ft 4in straw, Ederson will be offloaded to Galatasaray faster than you can say “we need a different profile of goalkeeper, Brian”.
