Manchester City and PSG have engaged in positive talks and appear close to agreeing a reduced fee for Gianluigi Donnarumma after negotiations over his initial high asking price. PSG initially sought as much as 45–50 million but could accept significantly less to offload Donnarumma and remove his large wages from their books. Donnarumma is a top target for Manchester City amid doubts over Ederson's future, with Galatasaray interested in signing Ederson and negotiations ongoing. Donnarumma played a key role in PSG's Champions League triumph, making crucial saves against Arsenal and contributing to the final victory over Inter Milan.
Pedulla claims there has been significant progress during negotiations over Donnarumma's fee, which is likely to come down from PSG's initial high asking price. At first, it looked like the Ligue 1 giants would demand as much as 45-50m for the Italian goalkeeper, which City were keen not to pay. PSG could now accept quite a bit less than that as they're keen to offload Donnarumma and save money from getting his high wages off their books.
Although the Brazilian shot-stopper has been a great servant to the club, it seems clear that he's no longer trusted as Pep Guardiola's number one. Pedulla's report notes that Galatasaray are keen to sign Ederson, with negotiations ongoing over a potential sale. Donnarumma could be a major upgrade on Ederson, while James Trafford has also already moved to City this summer.
