This soap opera has hosted the transfer market in recent days. Coming into conflict with the management of PSG with which he never managed to find an agreement to extend his contract, Gianluigi Donnarumma paid the consequences. While it would have been free in a year, the porter was sidelined as soon as training resumes, while Lucas Chevalier, his successor, took the management of the capital from Lille for an estimated transfer of € 55 million.
Donnarumma no longer really had any choice than to go. If not, he should have taken the risk of living a white season, far from all competitions; Filler for an international goalkeeper while the World Cup is looming in a year, or to extend on conditions which he considered to be insufficient. It only had the start of the departure, imposed by the French club, which absolutely wanted not to relive the same episode as with Kylian Mbappé, nor that experienced by AC Milan with the Italian.
Everyone finds their account
It was still necessary to find a fall point but such a CV available on the market necessarily attracts the eye. Manchester City knew how to seize this opportunity by quickly agreeing with the 26 -year -old goalkeeper, and the PSG around an estimated transfer of € 30 million. “”Manchester City is happy to confirm the signature of Gianluigi Donnarumma du Paris Saint-Germain, subject to international authorization. The 26 -year -old Italian goalkeeper signed a five -year contract, who will see him stay at Etihad Stadium until the summer of 2030.»»
Even if this deal quickly completed, almost in an emergency, everyone finds their account there. PSG gets rid of a big salary and a potential problem for the coming months, and recovers Lucas Chevalier whose profile is more of Luis Enrique in his words, Donnarumma goes to a European foreground club, after having lived the best six months of his career, and the Sky Blues recovered one of the best in the world in his post, which takes the continuation of Ederson, who signed in Fenerbah.
