Manchester City is reportedly engaged in advanced negotiations to secure the signing of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris St-Germain, with a transfer fee anticipated to exceed £30 million. This move comes as Ederson is poised to leave the club for Turkish outfit Fenerbahce.
The 26-year-old Italian goalkeeper has found himself surplus to requirements at PSG following the recent acquisition of Lucas Chevalier from Lille. With his future at the Ligue 1 champions uncertain, he appears ready to make the move to Manchester City, with the transfer expected to finalize at 35 million euros (approximately £30.3 million) by the upcoming deadline on Monday at 19:00 BST.
Earlier in the summer, Manchester City brought in James Trafford from Burnley for £27 million, and he has taken up the role as the first-choice goalkeeper this season. However, sources indicate that Pep Guardiola has set his sights on Donnarumma, pushing for this significant transfer, which is now on the verge of completion.
Donnarumma is regarded as one of the finest goalkeepers globally, having earned 74 caps for the Italian national team. He is particularly remembered for his standout performance during the Euro 2020 final, where he was instrumental in Italy's triumph over England during the penalty shootout.
