Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are confident about securing the services of PSG shot-stopper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
According to Florian Plettenberg, Manchester City are closing in on securing the signature of Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Premier League giants are working behind the scenes to secure his services, and they are confident about getting it over the line.
Donnarumma came up the ranks at AC Milan and made a name for himself while playing for their first team before joining PSG back in 2021 on a free transfer. While he has been their undisputed number one since the start and helped them win the treble last season, the 26-year-old is no longer an integral part of Luis Enrique’s plans.
The relationship between the two parties has broken down, and Donnarumma has already made his desire to leave PSG public after becoming a peripheral figure at the club. With just 12 months left on his deal, PSG are ready to sanction his departure provided their demands are met. They have already signed Lucas Chevalier from LOSC Lille to be their new number one going forward.
While multiple top clubs have been linked with the 26-year-old, Manchester City are clear front-runners for his signature at this stage. The Premier League giants could end up parting ways with their number one, Ederson, and they see Gianluigi Donnarumma as a top-level replacement.
Manchester City could soon sign Donnarumma
Manchester City are working behind the scenes to strike a deal with PSG. They are on the verge of securing the green light from Gianluigi Donnarumma, as Guardiola is pushing to have him in his squad. The Premier League giants are optimistic about getting it done in the coming days once Ederson ends up making a move to Turkish giants Galatasaray.
While the Brazilian international still has a lot of football left in him, he is keen on trying a new challenge, and Manchester City are not looking to stand in his way. Meanwhile, Donnarumma will certainly be a top-level reinforcement for the English giants.
Having won it all with PSG, the 26-year-old Italian international could now look to prove himself in the most competitive league in the world. At Manchester City, he will have the opportunity to fight for all major titles and work under one of the best managers in Guardiola.
