PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN have agreed to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma on a free transfer and will loan him back to Italy for the first season, according to reports.
The Italian keeper failed to agree fresh terms with AC Milan so will leave the San Siro side on June 30.

And PSG have beaten Juventus to his signature, according to journalist Duncan Castles.
The Ligue 1 giants have recently extended Keylor Navas’ deal which seemed to suggest they would swerve Donnarumma, 22.
But they are said to have moved anyway in what appears to be a sound move for the future.
Donnarumma has made it clear he wants to play Champions League football which would leave only a handful of teams for him to join on loan.
Inter, AC, Atalanta and Juve are the four teams who qualified for the Champions League in Italy.
But Juve now seems an unlikely destination after Donnarumma was reportedly left in tears after Milan Ultras threatened him amid links with the Old Lady.
Jose Mourinho is also said to have called the keeper to convince him to join Roma who are only playing in the Europa Conference League with his old team Spurs.
Donnarumma came up through the Milan academy and made his Serie A debut at 16.

He has also been linked with Barcelona who are said to be willing to sacrifice ‘untouchable’ Marc Andre ter Stegen and replace him with the Italy international.
And Chelsea and Manchester United have both been linked given the complicated goalkeeping situation at both clubs.
Milan technical director Paolo Maldini recently told reporters: “He [Donnarumma] has been a protagonist of this season.
“It’s getting more and more difficult to find players who start in a team and always end up staying.
“The roads with Gigio are splitting, I can only wish him the best.”
According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Milan want to replace the departing goalkeeper with Lille stopper Mike Maignan.
Milan finished second in Serie A this season, 12 points behind champions and local rivals Inter.
