MANCHESTER, UK – Manchester City have made contact with Paris Saint-Germain to inquire about the conditions for a potential transfer of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The move signals City’s interest in the Italian international, but a deal is far from certain due to a high valuation and its dependence on another key transfer.
PSG has reportedly set an asking price of around €50 million, a fee that is currently considered too high by the Premier League champions.
Furthermore, any move for Donnarumma is entirely contingent on the departure of City’s current goalkeeper, Éderson.
This confirms the link between the two sagas, as City awaits progress on the ongoing talks between Éderson and Galatasaray.
The transfer race for Donnarumma appears to be a clear two-way negotiation, with sources confirming that Chelsea are not in the running for the goalkeeper’s signature.
The final piece of the puzzle will be Donnarumma himself, who is expected to clarify his position on a potential move in the coming days, shedding light on his willingness to leave Paris.
The pursuit of Donnarumma indicates a potential major shift in Manchester City’s goalkeeping department. Should Éderson’s move to Turkey materialize, a transfer for the Italian would represent a high-profile replacement.
The situation highlights the strategic interconnections within the top tier of the transfer market, where one deal can directly influence the next.
