Top story: Done with Donnarumma

Paris Saint-Germain have told Gianluigi Donnarumma to find a new club this summer, informing the Italian that Lucas Chevalier is taking over the No. 1 job between the sticks after his arrival from Lille. Donnarumma played a vital role in PSG's historic treble-winning campaign last season, but manager Luis Enrique wants a 'keeper who's more comfortable with the ball at his feet.

PSG expect an offer to arrive from Chelsea, Manchester United, or Inter, who've all made contact with Donnarumma's agent, Enzo Raiola. The 26-year-old shot-stopper wanted to extend his contract with the French side, but couldn't come to terms on a new deal. (ESPN)
