PSG Stun as Man City Unwilling to Make Major £500K-per-Week Decision | OneFootball

As the summer transfer window winds down, attention is fixed on PSG and Manchester City to see if they can strike a deal for Gianluigi Donnarumma.

L’Équipe previously reported that Donnarumma has already reached an agreement with Manchester City and even held direct talks with Pep Guardiola. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano noted that Galatasaray’s interest in Ederson could open the door for Donnarumma to join the Etihad.

Recently, journalist Alfredo Pedullà reported that negotiations between Manchester City and PSG over Donnarumma are progressing. He also notes that the Premier League club has offered a five-year deal worth €16 million per season, plus bonuses.

As reported by The Mirror, Donnarumma is earning around £500,000 a week at PSG and wants to keep those wages if he moves to the Premier League.

Manchester City have a clear stance on the matter and are said to be unwilling to meet those demands. At the Etihad, only Erling Haaland reportedly earns more, with £525,000 a week.

City reportedly feel Donnarumma does not justify a salary well above their other top stars and have turned down his request.

PSG could face a major financial hit, with reports claiming the French club may have to subsidise Donnarumma’s wages to secure a deal before Monday’s transfer deadline. If not, they risk losing him for an even smaller fee in one of the 2026 transfer windows.

The Parisians have already shown urgency to move him on, reportedly dropping their asking price from £50 million to around £25 million.
