Gianluigi Donnarumma Set for Premier League Switch as Manchester City Close In

Gianluigi Donnarumma is leaving Paris Saint-Germain for the Premier League. Manchester City are close to signing the Italian goalkeeper after his agent said England is the “right step” for his career.

AGENT PUSHES FOR PREMIER LEAGUE MOVE

Donnarumma‘s agent confirmed they are focused on a Premier League move and have stopped talks with Italian clubs. The agent criticized PSG for showing ‘zero respect’ during contract discussions and expressed surprise at the club’s actions. Donnarumma was left out of PSG’s UEFA Super Cup squad, amid reports that manager Luis Enrique wants a different style of goalkeeper. Donnarumma has one year left on his contract, which expires in June 2026, and posted an emotional message to fans expressing his disappointment at being excluded from the squad.

CITY READY FOR A NEW No. 1

According to reports, Manchester City have already agreed terms with PSG for Donnarumma, who is widely considered one of the world’s top goalkeepers. He arrives in the Premier League after helping PSG win the Champions League last season, although he lost his starting spot under Luis Enrique. Ederson is currently City’s No. 1 but could leave the club amid interest from Galatasaray. City have brought back James Trafford this summer, but now seem set to make Donnarumma their new No. 1 as they have identified him as a replacement for Ederson.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR CITY AND PSG?

Man City host Wolves in their season opener at the Etihad as they look to reclaim the Premier League title amid fierce competition from Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea. Donnarumma’s arrival could be a major upgrade for City even though he will need time to settle, with the Champions League group stage set to get underway in a few weeks. PSG, meanwhile, are still looking for another goalkeeper after acquiring Lucas Chevalier from Lille, indicating a shift in their goalkeeping plans as they prepare for life without Donnarumma.
