Transfer Developments
Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is reportedly set for a move to Manchester City, with L’Equipe revealing that the Italian international has already reached a preliminary agreement with the Premier League side.
Donnarumma’s position at PSG has become precarious after manager Luis Enrique decided to make a change in the goalkeeping department, bringing in Lucas Chevalier. Additionally, Donnarumma has declined to both renew his contract and accept a pay cut, contributing further to the decision to place him on the transfer list.
🚨 EXCL — Donnarumma’s agent Raiola: “Premier League is the right step for Gigio in my view, we’re working on it”.
“There are zero talks with Italian clubs. We are still shocked by PSG behaviour with Gigio”.
🔵👀 Manchester City, keen on Gigio.

Manchester City’s Pursuit and Financial Details
Sources indicate that the 26-year-old shot-stopper was in contact with Pere Guardiola before his official inclusion on the transfer list, and that a provisional understanding is in place for Donnarumma to move to the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City’s longstanding interest in Donnarumma appears to have intensified, especially as PSG are prepared to part with him for less than 40 million euros—the sum they spent to acquire Chevalier.
Situation at Manchester United
Manchester United has also shown interest in Donnarumma, eyeing him as a possible replacement for André Onana, who has underperformed at Old Trafford. However, United are considerably behind at this stage of negotiations, with their prospects for completing a deal for Donnarumma described as minimal.
Current Status and Outlook
Although Manchester City has not yet submitted an official bid for Donnarumma, this is attributed solely to their desire to finalise Ederson’s transfer to Galatasaray first. The Brazilian goalkeeper’s move is in advanced negotiations but has not yet been officially concluded.
