Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing 25-year-old Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Gianluigi Donnarumma has been earmarked as a potential replacement for Ederson Moraes, who has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia. According to Ben Jacobs, the Italian international goalkeeper is happy at PSG, and he is open to signing a new contract with them.
The report states that the Italian international wants to play in the Premier League at some point in his career, and it will be interesting to see if Manchester City can convince him to move to England this summer. There is no doubt that he is a top class goalkeeper, and he is one of the best in his position in the world.
Ederson linked with Saudi Pro League move
Donnarumma would be a quality replacement for the Brazilian international if Ederson decides to move on. The South American goalkeeper has been a key player for Manchester City, and he has helped them win several major trophies in recent years. The goalkeeper is entering the twilight stages of his career, and it is no surprise that he is considering a move to Saudi Arabia.
A move to the Saudi Pro League would allow him to pocket a more lucrative contract, and he would get to enjoy the remaining years of his career in a league with far lesser intensity. Manchester City will need to replace him adequately if they are serious about challenging for major trophies in the upcoming campaign.
Donnarumma the ideal Ederson replacement?
Signing one of the best goalkeepers in the world would be a wise decision. However, PSG will not want to lose a quality player like the 25-year-old Italian international. The Ligue 1 champions are one of the richest in the world, and they do not need to sell their best players for money. It will be difficult for Manchester City to convince them.
The Premier League giants should look to convince the goalkeeper first. If he is keen on a move to Manchester City, the Premier League champions will be in a position of power while negotiating with the French outfit. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
