Donnarumma Nears Manchester City Move as Ederson’s Future in Question

Manchester City are close to signing Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Italian goalkeeper has agreed personal terms and is ready to join if Ederson leaves this summer, as confirmed by recent reports.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Manchester City are making a strong move for Paris Saint-Germain‘s Gianluigi Donnarumma, who is leaving PSG for the Premier League. He has agreed on personal terms with City. Ederson, City’s current goalkeeper, is linked with a move to Galatasaray. With Manchester United and Chelsea out of the race for Donnarumma, City are favorites to sign him. PSG are asking for around €50 million for Donnarumma, whose contract expires in June 2026. Donnarumma is disappointed to leave Paris but is ready for a new challenge in the Premier League (source).

CITY’S SEASON SO FAR

Manchester City finished 3rd in a thrilling Premier League title last season, where they failed to win any silverware the whole season. Ederson was important, playing in 31 league games and keeping 13 clean sheets. However, City’s defense and goalkeeper faced criticism after their Champions League last-16 exit. Ederson’s form dropped, leading to an uncertain future. City are getting ready for their first Premier League game against Wolves. City wants to finalize their squad. Wolves finished 16th last season but have historically been a tough opponent for the citizens, setting up a tough test for City in their opener.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR DONNARUMMA AND CITY?

If Ederson joins Galatasaray, Donnarumma is expected to sign for City soon. This move could change City’s defense as they aim to stay at the top of English football. The focus is on whether Donnarumma can quickly adjust and perform at his best for City. The club faces a tough start to the league season, with rivals Liverpool and Arsenal strengthening their squads. The first games of the season are very important for City’s title chase.
