Overview

• Gianluigi Donnarumma has joined Manchester City from PSG for a reported €27m (£26m) and flew to Manchester after Italy duty, with his agent posting “Welcome to Manchester.”
• Reports in Italy detail a contract worth around €15m in year one, rising to €17m, with up to €3m per season in bonuses tied to clean sheets and major trophies.
• He is reported to be in contention to debut in the Manchester derby, with selection in focus after James Trafford started the first three league matches and City suffered consecutive defeats.
• Donnarumma’s recent international outing drew mixed reviews after a 5-4 win over Israel in which he punched a corner into his own net before a foul was called, despite making important saves.
• Analysis highlights tension between Donnarumma’s elite shot‑stopping and Guardiola’s traditional preference for a ball‑playing keeper as Ederson departs to Fenerbahce and PSG move on with Lucas Chevalier.
