Transfer news – Donnarumma and Manchester City, the latest on a tricky deal

Gianluigi Donnarumma, the 26-year-old Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper (contract until 2026), is at the center of rumors. His departure is now certain as Lucas Chevalier (23 years old, French national team) has arrived from Lille to replace him. We are waiting to know the destination, with Manchester City in pole position. The Athletic takes a closer look at this not-so-simple case.

“Contacts have taken place between Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain regarding Gianluigi Donnarumma PSG wanted around 40 million euros, but City's valuation is significantly lower. If the clubs reach an agreement, a solution will be found on a personal level. But, crucially, any agreement depends on Ederson's departure from City. At PSG, it is expected that Donnarumma will join the Etihad Stadium, but the situation may not be resolved before September 1st, with all parties trying to get the best deal possible. The 26-year-old Italian international is unlikely to join Galatasaray, while Manchester United distanced themselves from him from the start, leaving City as the most realistic option.

We remain cautious, as the uncertainty surrounding Donnarumma continues. It is certain that there is no transfer that has been finalized yet. Otherwise, the clubs would have announced it. For now, we see the price fluctuating between 30 and a little over 40 million euros. Which is quite wide.

We would also need the aforementioned departure of Ederson, which is still possible without being concrete. Patience is required, with the transfer market closing on Monday evening. We will have clarity at that time, with the next few days expected to be intense.
