Manchester City Close In On Donnarumma As PSG Lower Demands

Manchester City are getting closer to signing Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain. The goalkeeper is expected to join if Ederson leaves the club soon. Reports confirm that Donnarumma has bid a heartfelt farewell to PSG fans as he prepares for a Premier League move.

NEGOTIATIONS ADVANCE FOR DONNARUMMA SWITCH

Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain have made progress in talks over Gianluigi Donnarumma‘s transfer. PSG have reduced their asking price from €50 million to between €30 and €35 million as they look to complete the deal. Donnarumma has agreed personal terms with Manchester City and is ready to join the club, but the transfer depends on Ederson’s departure. Galatasaray have begun negotiations for Ederson and reportedly offered €10 million, but City are seeking a higher fee, around £25 million according to recent reports.

IMPACT ON MAN CITY’S SQUAD AND RECENT PERFORMANCES

There have been major changes in City’s goalkeeping department this summer. Following a shock loss to Tottenham last weekend where new signing James Trafford struggled on his second match in charge, the club is moving quickly to strengthen the goalkeeper position. Manchester City finished third in the Premier League in the previous campaign, and manager Pep Guardiola remains focused on adding quality players to his squad to reclaim the title. Donnarumma, considered to be among the world’s best goalkeepers, helped PSG win their maiden Champions League last season and played 44 matches across all competitions in the 2024-25 campaign, keeping 18 clean sheets.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT FOR CITY AND PSG?

Manchester City will take on Brighton & Hove Albion in their next Premier League match. City have one win and one loss in their two opening matches and are already three points behind Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool. For PSG, in tandem with Donnarumma’s sale, they are set to welcome Lucas Chevalier as his successor after agreeing on a transfer fee of more than €40 million. Both clubs are now expected to intensify talks, with Donnarumma’s arrival at City hinging on Ederson’s future.
