New number: Gianluigi Donnarumma
The Italian’s move across the Channel went right down to the wire after he was bizarrely frozen out by the French champions, usurped in the pecking order by new signing Lucas Chevalier.
A deal sheet was required to allow City and PSG to complete their agreement, which was announced on Tuesday.
He agreed a five-year contract on arrival at the Etihad, with the option for a further year.
His arrival will bring a sense of foreboding for James Trafford, who re-signed with his childhood club earlier in the window after a spell with Burnley.
There was some doubt as to what shirt number Donnarumma would choose after signing.
He took on the No50 shirt on arrival at PSG, before flitting between the No16, No1, and No99 shirts in subsequent seasons.
But he has broken from tradition with his City selection, picking a number he has never worn before.
Donnarumma will don the No25 shirt when he makes his debut at the Etihad, which he could do in a Manchester derby following the international break.

The No25 shirt had previously belonged to Manuel Akanji, who only vacated it on Deadline Day as he agreed a late loan move to Inter Milan as a replacement for Benjamin Pavard, who moved to Marseille on loan.
