Fabrizio Romano has discussed the latest developments involving Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Now, Romano has provided a big update involving City and Donnarumma, who has also been linked with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United.

What needs to happen for Manchester City to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma
Romano reiterated that City will only sign Donnarumma if they can offload Ederson, who is currently in talks with Galatasaray.
The transfer insider said the Donnarumma deal rests on the Ederson situation, but things seem to be moving in the right direction.
“There is a negotiation ongoing between Ederson and Galatasaray on the personal terms,” said Romano.
“Man City are waiting to see how much Galatasaray will put this final offer on the table.”
City are also working on a price for Donnarumma, with talks ongoing over the “world-class” keeper with PSG.
