Manchester City are on the verge of completing a deadline-day goalkeeper swap that will see Gianluigi Donnarumma arrive from Paris Saint-Germain and \u00c9derson depart. Fabrizio Romano reports that Fenerbah\u00e7e have agreed to sign the Brazil international for a fee of around \u20ac13 million (\u00a311.3 million, $15.2 million), after Galatasaray had also expressed interest.<\/p>\n
City had already signed Trafford, but the club made clear they would pursue Donnarumma should \u00c9derson leave this summer. According to The Athletic, PSG entered Deadline Day “expecting” to sell the Italian to City, a confidence that was borne out when Romano soon confirmed a deal had been struck between City and PSG to take Donnarumma to the Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n
Donnarumma\u2019s situation in Paris had hardened over the summer. With the goalkeeper in the final year of his contract, talks over an extension were held but his reluctance to lower his wage demands prompted PSG to reach a quick resolution on his future. The club signed Lucas Chevalier from Lille and informed Donnarumma he was no longer wanted as they reshaped their goalkeeping options.<\/p>\n
The Italy international, still only 26 years old, leaves PSG after 161 appearances and delivered a final farewell to supporters on the pitch. He is due in Manchester later in the day to put pen to paper on his contract before the transfer deadline.<\/p>\n
The sequence of moves completes a rapid change at both clubs: PSG moving for a new number one, City replacing \u00c9derson, and Fenerbah\u00e7e securing a high-profile goalkeeper for a reported fee of around \u20ac13 million. All parties proceeded quickly to finalise arrangements on Deadline Day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
