Manchester City Make Enquiry For Donnarumma As PSG Set €50m Price

Manchester City have asked Paris Saint‑Germain about a deal for Gianluigi Donnarumma, with PSG seeking around €50 million. Any move depends on Ederson leaving the Etihad, while Chelsea are not in the race.

WHAT HAPPENED?

City made contact to understand the situation for signing Donnarumma, whose PSG contract is in its final year. Reports confirm that PSG want about €50m, which City think is high since his deal ends next summer. A transfer is only likely if Ederson leaves, with interest in the Brazilian this month. Additionally, reports also indicate that Chelsea are not pursuing Donnarumma now.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

PSG have moved towards a new No. 1 after signing Lucas Chevalier, and Donnarumma was left out of the Super Cup squad amid a contract stand-off, as highlighted in recent reports. He helped PSG win the Champions League three months ago and has 161 appearances and 56 clean sheets for the club. However, contract talks have stalled, and PSG prefer a sale now rather than losing him for free. City already brought back James Trafford and have Stefan Ortega in reserve, so replacing Ederson would change their goalkeeper plan.

FORM AND SEASON CONTEXT

City will start their Premier League title chase next weekend, after finishing 3rd last season. Their opening fixtures come with Arsenal and Liverpool again expected to push them. Ederson was key to last season’s success, while Donnarumma kept five clean sheets on PSG’s road to a European crown. PSG began Ligue 1 as champions again and are targeting stability under Luis Enrique after summer changes in goal.

WHAT NEXT?

City’s next league match will test their rhythm early in the season, with rivals close in the standings and little room for error. Any move for Donnarumma hinges on Ederson’s future, with talks likely to speed up if a firm offer arrives. PSG will expect clarity soon, as the final weeks of the window will decide whether they cash in now or risk losing Donnarumma on a free next year. Donnarumma is set to make his position clear shortly, with expectations that he will leave PSG soon as detailed in a recent update.
