Manchester City has completed the signing of Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain in a deal worth £26 million. The 26-year-old will step into the role of first-choice goalkeeper following the departure of Ederson to Turkish side Fenerbahçe.
Donnarumma, who has agreed to a five-year contract with additional performance-related bonuses, described the move as a dream fulfilled. “Playing in the Premier League has always been an ambition, and to do it under Pep Guardiola is something very special,” he said in his first interview with the club’s media team.
City manager Pep Guardiola reportedly views Donnarumma as a commanding presence between the posts, capable of reinforcing the team’s defensive stability as they target a fifth consecutive Premier League title and a second successive UEFA Champions League crown.
News of the transfer has generated significant buzz across social media platforms, with supporters welcoming the former AC Milan prodigy and 2020 European Championship winner to the Etihad Stadium.
The transfer marks another high-profile addition to City’s roster, underlining their intent to maintain dominance in both domestic and European competitions.
