Gianluigi Donnarumma, the 26-year-old goalkeeper who joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 on a contract until 2026, is at the center of rumors. His contract extension has not been finalized, and he has been asked to leave after not being called up for the UEFA Super Cup against Tottenham, following the arrival of Lucas Chevalier (23, French national team) from Lille to replace him. Sport Mediaset reported on Tuesday that Manchester City could move forward with the departure of Ederson (31) to Galatasaray.
An upcoming meeting for Ederson.
“Despite the purchase of Trafford from Burnley, Manchester City also wants Gigio Donnarumma. But before that, Ederson’s departure must be made official. Indeed, the Brazilian goalkeeper has already reached a financial agreement with Galatasaray and is ready to leave Manchester after eight years.
All that remains is for the two clubs to reach an agreement, and they are scheduled to meet in the coming hours to discuss the deal. Only once the Ederson situation is resolved will Manchester City be able to truly pursue Donnarumma.
Too high a price for now?
For the moment, Paris Saint-Germain’s demands could slow down negotiations. The Parisians are asking for around €50 million to release him, an amount considered too high by Manchester City, especially since his contract expires in 2026.”
This has been the trend in recent days and it seems relatively credible. It is not the first time that Ederson’s departure has been mentioned, and it could end up happening. Especially with Galatasaray very seriously in the running and seemingly a destination that appeals to the Brazilian.
The Donnarumma opportunity could also help Manchester City open the door for their goalkeeper, if there is a feeling that negotiations with PSG are indeed possible. This is likely, as the Italian has been invited to leave. As for the latter, the destination seems very interesting. But nothing has been decided yet, so we remain cautious.
