Manchester City are in direct contact with PSG for the signing of Gianluigi Donnarumma, with an agreement expected to be struck.
According to Alfredo Pedulla, Manchester City and PSG are in direct talks to find an agreement for Gianluigi Donnarumma. The 26-year-old PSG outcast is not in Luis Enrique’s plans anymore as Pep Guardiola continues to push to get the Italian international.
The latter stages of the transfer window could see plenty of movements when it comes to goalkeepers. There are dominoes to fall for some top clubs to get deals in place, with Gianluigi Donnarumma at the centre of this saga, as he seeks a departure from PSG.
Donnarumma’s potential exit from PSG will come as a shock to some of their fans as well as to those from other clubs. The Italian international is in the final year of his deal, and so far, the Parsians have not been able to agree on a new contract, which has led to multiple complications.
Manchester City were the club that made a concrete step towards signing the 26-year-old PSG outcast, and have been closing in on an agreement since. PSG’s demands have so far been significantly more than what Manchester City are willing to pay, although the two teams are expected to come to a middle ground.
Donnarumma wants to join Manchester City, and at the moment, they are his preferred destination, which gives the Premier League side the advantage in the race. Manchester City and PSG are in direct talks to find an agreement, as the Parisians are not keen to see the top-rated keeper leave on a free transfer next summer.
Manchester City want Gianluigi Donnarumma
Manchester City are keen to sign the 26-year-old PSG outcast, but they are also waiting on Ederson Moraes and Stefan Ortega to depart to make space. With James Trafford arriving earlier in the summer, adding Donnarumma would mean the two keepers will compete for a place between the sticks next season.
Manchester City and Galatasaray are in advanced talks for Ederson, which could pave the way for Donnarumma to join the club. Pep Guardiola wants the keeper, and there’s a feeling that if not now, then the club would sign him on a free transfer next season, which does put the pressure on PSG to accept favourable terms and sell the Italian.
