Manchester City are close to finalizing a deal for Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. Here’s what’s happening: The transfer fee is reportedly around €35 million ($41 million) or £30.3 million. Donnarumma is expected to undergo a medical today and then join Manchester City.
Ederson’s move to Fenerbahçe is also nearing completion, with a potential deal worth around €14 million (£12.1 million). Manchester City isn’t rushing to finalize Ederson’s exit before confirming Donnarumma’s arrival.
He’s expected to become Pep Guardiola’s new number one goalkeeper taking over from James Trafford who hasn’t been that stable in recent weeks with notable error leading to Joao Palhinha’s goal in City’s 2 – 0 loss to Spurs. Donnarumma will potentially make his debut against Manchester United on September 14 after the international break.
Donnarumma, 26, has made 161 appearances for PSG, keeping 56 clean sheets, and won the Champions League last season. He has also earned 74 caps for Italy.
This move marks a significant evolution in Manchester City’s goalkeeping plans, with Donnarumma bringing proven top-level experience to the team.
