• The Italy goalkeeper was named 2025 Yashin Trophy winner and finished ninth in the Ballon d’Or voting in Paris, thanking former PSG teammates and new club Manchester City in his remarks.
• He said he would have liked to remain at PSG but is now settled at City, having signed a five‑year deal for a reported fee in the £26–30 million range.
• Donnarumma has started strongly for City, conceding once in his first three games with two clean sheets, drawing praise from Gary Neville and Mikel Arteta for his dominance and assurance.
