Manchester City are set to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma to strengthen Pep Guardiola's squad, with the PSG goalkeeper no longer first-choice at Parc des Princes. Donnarumma cited a wage reduction as a key reason for seeking a move to the Etihad. Lucas Chevalier has displaced Donnarumma at PSG despite Donnarumma's role in PSG's first Champions League triumph. Ederson is expected to join Fenerbahce, and James Trafford has featured for City but struggled for form. Donnarumma is expected to undergo a medical in Italy, arrive after the international break, and assume the No.1 role at City once his transfer is completed.
Manchester City are set to add Gianluigi Donnarumma to Pep Guardiola's squad, Fabrizio Romano reports. The PSG stopper is no longer first-choice at Parc des Princes and has been on the market during the summer window. Italy's No.1 has even commented publicly on his situation in the French capital, citing a wage reduction as a key reason for his departure for the Etihad Stadium.
Donnarumma will replace long-time City No.1 Ederson who is expected to join Turkish club Fenerbahce in a permanent switch. The Brazilian has been usurped by 27 million summer signing James Trafford so far this season, however, the ex-Burnley stopper and City academy graduate has struggled for form during the early part of the campaign. It is expected Donnarumma will take the No.1 spot from Trafford once he completes his deadline day move.
