Manchester City Completes Signing Of Italian Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma From PSG

‎Manchester City have completed the signing of PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma for a reported fee of around £30 million, with up to £3.5 million in add-ons.

‎The Italian shot-stopper had fallen out of favour under PSG manager Luis Enrique despite helping the club secure the Ligue 1 title and the Champions League last season.

‎He joins City as a direct replacement for the outgoing Ederson, who joined Fenerbahce on Tuesday.

‎Donnarumma arrives as a four-time Ligue 1 winner and three-time goalkeeper of the season (twice with PSG and once with AC Milan).

‎“To have signed for Manchester City is such a special and proud moment for me,” Donnarumma said in the official announcement on City’s website.

‎“I am joining a squad packed with world-class talent and a team led by one of the greatest managers in the history of football in Pep Guardiola. This is a club every player in world football would love to join.

‎“I am very excited for what lies ahead and can promise that I will give absolutely everything to try and help the Club achieve even more success,” he added.

‎“Gianluigi’s pedigree, quality, and record speak for themselves, and we are all absolutely thrilled he has joined us here at City,” said City’s Director of Football, Hugo Viana.

‎“There is no doubt Gianluigi will bring further quality and depth to our top-class goalkeeping department.

‎“Everyone here is very excited to welcome Gianluigi to Manchester City, and we wish him all the very best during his time here with us,” Viana concluded.

‎The Italian stopper is approaching his tenth season in senior football at just 26 years of age, and will battle James Trafford for the number one shirt at Manchester City.
