Donnarumma to Manchester City: Deal closed with PSG for 40 million. Five-year contract worth 12 million per season ready

The details of the deal

PSG had initially set the price at 50 million, while the Citizens’ offer was 30 million. The parties found common ground at 40 million. Donnarumma will sign a five-year contract worth 12 million euros net per year, thus becoming one of the highest-paid goalkeepers in the Premier League.

The context of the transfer

The Italian national team goalkeeper leaves Paris after a triumphant season, crowned by winning the Champions League, but with relations now strained with coach Luis Enrique. The final green light came after PSG closed a deal with Fenerbahce for Ederson, who is arriving for 13 million plus 2 million in bonuses.

Medical exams and first steps

Donnarumma’s medical exams will be carried out directly at Coverciano, during the training camp with the national team. Immediately after, he will transfer to Manchester to join Pep Guardiola’s squad, who strongly pushed for his arrival.

The agent’s words

“The Premier League is the league Gigio aspires to,” Donnarumma’s agent Enzo Raiola recently stated. Now that dream becomes reality.
