All indications are that Gianluigi Donnarumma will depart PSG before the transfer window closes, with Manchester City leading the chase. Sources report PSG\u2019s asking price is around \u20ac40 million ($46.5 million, \u00a334.5), but City are reluctant to meet that valuation while there are only 12 months left on Donnarumma\u2019s contract.<\/p>\n
The possibility of a deal appears to rest on compromise. Fabrizio Romano added an agreement between the clubs could be reached for a \u20ac30\u2013\u20ac35 million fee, with talks ongoing. If a fee is agreed, Donnarumma\u2019s arrival at Pep Guardiola\u2019s side is conditional on the long-time City starter \u00c9derson leaving the club.<\/p>\n
Turkish giants Galatasaray are said to be keen on acquiring the Brazilian, but no official bid has been sent yet. Earlier in the summer, Galatasaray were said to be one of Donnarumma\u2019s possible destinations, as well as Manchester United. However, those two clubs have distanced themselves from the equation, leaving Man City a free avenue to land the Italian.<\/p>\n
Donnarumma signed for PSG on a free transfer in 2021. He went on to feature 161 times for the club, keeping 56 clean sheets and playing a crucial role in conquering PSG\u2019s first Champions League title earlier this year.<\/p>\n
City have already added James Trafford from Burnley earlier in the window, and the City academy graduate has started the first two games of the season. That acquisition has provided depth, but the opportunity to secure Donnarumma for below reported market valuation remains attractive.<\/p>\n
With deadline day fast approaching, talks between PSG and Manchester City will be watched closely. The situation combines contract timing, competing suitors, and \u00c9derson\u2019s future, meaning any resolution could still hinge on rapid movement in the final hours of the window.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
