Gianluigi Donnarumma, 26-year-old Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper (contract until 2026), is at the heart of rumors. His departure is now certain, as Lucas Chevalier (23, French national team) has arrived from Lille to replace him. The destination is still to be determined, while Manchester City is the most talked-about club. RMC Sport has taken stock of this situation, which is still far from being resolved.
“Donnarumma would be willing to wait until January if a project doesn’t materialize.”
“The situation hasn’t changed much, since it’s contingent on Ederson. The Citizens goalkeeper, under contract until 2026, is close to Galatasaray, with whom he has already reached an agreement. But the Turkish club has yet to reach an agreement with the Citizens. Meanwhile, Paris is asking around €30 million for Donnarumma.” PSG initially demanded €50 million to release their goalkeeper.
Manchester City would like to pay less than the €30 million demanded, even if Ederson leaves. Donnarumma has already almost reached an agreement with Manchester City on the terms of his future contract. There won’t be any problems there. The Italian will only leave if a project suits him. He would be willing to wait until January if one doesn’t come along.”
Unfortunately, nothing is impossible, and a transfer by the end of the transfer window on Monday evening is far from guaranteed. There is still hope, as Manchester City may prefer a goalkeeper who is fully committed to the move than an Ederson who is thinking about leaving. Just as it may be better to spend now than to see the Donnarumma opportunity disappear in the coming months to another club.
So we’re waiting for certainty, knowing that the transfer window can always move very quickly and surprise. Especially when it comes to points and price. Which is credible at around 30 million euros, but we will only be sure with a concrete outcome.
