Manchester City and Galatasaray are in negotiations for Ederson, and once an agreement is reached, Donnarumma is anticipated to take over the Brazilian’s position.<\/p>\n

Last week, Donnarumma disclosed that he is exiting PSG, having been pushed out by manager Luis Enrique, who prefers a goalkeeper with superior ball-playing abilities. This follows unsuccessful attempts to renew his contract, which is set to expire in 2026.<\/p>\n

According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano via his Facebook page<\/a>, the Italian goalkeeper has consented to personal terms with Manchester City for a long-term contract. Negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain are currently in progress to finalize the transfer fee. His post states:<\/p>\n

Long term deal ready for Italian goalkeeper and talks underway with Paris Saint-Germain over the total fee.<\/p>\n

The deal depends on \u00c9derson\u2019s exit this summer.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

PSG intended to cut Donnarumma’s base salary, which currently stands at \u20ac10m per year net, and offered performance-related bonuses instead, but he declined this proposal, leading the European champions to decide on signing Lucas Chevalier from Lille.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old was omitted from the squad for the European Super Cup against Tottenham, signaling his uncertain future with the club. Many regard him as the top goalkeeper in the world, especially following his remarkable performances during last season’s Champions League campaign.<\/p>\n

The Italian goalkeeper was instrumental in PSG\u2019s Champions League victory, delivering crucial performances throughout their journey to the final. In the last-16 match against Liverpool, Donnarumma made two key saves during the penalty shootout from Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones, securing PSG’s advancement.<\/p>\n

As he prepared to bid farewell to Paris Saint-Germain fans at the Parc des Princes, Donnarumma struggled to hold back tears. The Italian goalkeeper, who joined PSG in 2021, is now ready to embark on a new phase of his career in the Premier League, bringing his three-year tenure in Paris, filled with domestic championships and standout performances, to a close.<\/p>\n
