Gianluigi Donnarumma has chosen to wear the unorthodox number 99 shirt at Manchester City following his deadline day move from Paris St-Germain. The Italy international goalkeeper wears that number because he was born in 1999, and has sported it during his time in Paris and at his boyhood club AC Milan. The 26-year-old wears the number one shirt at international level, but that squad number is already occupied at City by goalkeeper James Trafford.
Manchester City new boy James Trafford is in talks to exit the club already. The Citizens have spent heavy in 2025, bringing in reinforcements across the pitch including in goal, where veteran custodian Ederson had to sit on the bench for Manchester City's 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend. Trafford has only played two Premier League games so far, but could already be leaving the Etihad Stadium, with talks ongoing for his exit.
Paris Saint-Germain are preparing to move for Emiliano Martinez as a response to Manchester United's interest in Gianluigi Donnarumma. With the recent successes of PSG, they aim to replace the Italy international with the esteemed Argentina international goalkeeper Martinez.
