Transfer news – Donnarumma to Manchester City, talks set to speed up soon?

Gianluigi Donnarumma, a 26-year-old goalkeeper who arrived at Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 with a contract until 2026, is at the center of rumors. His extension is not coming and he is being invited to leave, as he was not called up to the group for the European Super Cup against Tottenham, following the arrival of Lucas Chevalier (23 years old, French team) from Lille to replace him. Sport Mediaset claims this Tuesday that Manchester City could move forward with the departure of Ederson (31 years old) to Galatasaray.

A meeting to come for Ederson.

"Despite the purchase of Trafford from Burnley, Manchester City also wants Gigio Donnarumma. But before that, Ederson's departure must be formalized. In fact, the Brazilian goalkeeper has already reached a financial agreement with Galatasaray and is ready to leave Manchester after eight years. All that's missing is an agreement between the two clubs, which have planned to meet in the next few hours to discuss the transaction. It's only once the Ederson case is settled that Manchester City can really launch a bid for Donnarumma.

A price too high for now?

For now, Paris Saint-Germain's demand could slow down the negotiations. The Parisians are indeed asking for around 50 million euros to release him, an amount deemed too high by Manchester City, especially since his contract expires in 2026."

This is the trend in this case lately and it's relatively credible. It's not the first time Ederson's departure has been mentioned and it could eventually happen. Especially with a Galatasaray that is very seriously involved and seems to be a destination that tempts the Brazilian.

The Donnarumma opportunity can also help Manchester City to open the door to its goalkeeper, if there's a feeling that the negotiation with PSG is possible. Which is likely, since the Italian is being invited to leave. As for the latter, the destination seems very interesting. But nothing is done yet, so we remain cautious.
