Transfer news – Donnarumma close to Manchester City, deal on the cards | OneFootball

Gianluigi Donnarumma, the 26-year-old goalkeeper of Paris Saint-Germain (contract until 2026), is at the center of rumors. His departure is now certain as Lucas Chevalier (23 years old, French Team) has arrived from Lille to replace him. The destination is yet to be known, with Manchester City being the most mentioned club. According to Fabrizio Romano (DAZN), an agreement already exists between the Italian international and Manchester City, ready to welcome the goalkeeper if Ederson were to leave the club this summer. The contract is finalized, now it remains to decide the timing of the transfer.

The Donnarumma case cannot drag on. Sidelined by Luis Enrique, the 25-year-old goalkeeper has not played a single official minute since the start of the season with Paris Saint-Germain. An untenable situation for a player of this stature, a starter in the Italian selection, who refuses to take on a backup role. Paris also cannot afford to keep such a heavy salary for a player relegated to the bench.

From both a sporting and economic point of view, the urgency is clear: conclude the operation with Manchester City quickly, before the close of the transfer window. For PSG, the challenge is to avoid a scenario already known with other key players who stayed too long without an exit solution, while for Donnarumma, it is about finding immediate playing time in a project capable of offering him titles and the Champions League.
