Monday, September 1, 2025 - Manchester City are set to conduct a medical for Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma as the club moves to finalise a deal for the Italy international on transfer deadline day.
The move follows the planned departure of City’s
first-choice goalkeeper Ederson, who is set to join Fenerbahce, leaving
Donnarumma as the ideal replacement. Reports suggest the transfer is worth €30
million plus add-ons, with the 26-year-old set to sign a long-term contract at
the Etihad Stadium.
Ederson featured on the bench during City’s 2-1 defeat to
Brighton on Sunday, August 31, while young academy graduate James Trafford
impressed in the Premier League match. Donnarumma, who recently helped PSG
secure their first UEFA Champions League title, became available after contract
renewal talks with the French club broke down, leading to a public split with
PSG and manager Luis Enrique.
A medical in Italy on Monday is expected to precede
Donnarumma’s travel to Manchester, where he will join Pep Guardiola’s
first-team squad after the September international break. Meanwhile, Stefan
Ortega Moreno is also expected to leave City, completing a significant overhaul
of the club’s goalkeeping department.
