Overview
- Manchester City sealed a deadline-day deal to sign Donnarumma from PSG on a five-year contract for a reported fee in the high-€20m range.
- Speaking at Italy’s camp, Donnarumma said he will work to improve his passing from the back to meet Pep Guardiola’s requirements.
- The goalkeeper revealed Luis Enrique informed him in pre-season he would be moved on, and he downplayed any hard feelings as PSG turned to Lucas Chevalier.
- Ederson has joined Fenerbahce, and Donnarumma is expected to become City’s first choice, with a possible debut in the Manchester derby on September 14.
- Analysts note a clear stylistic shift from Ederson, citing Donnarumma’s lower rate and depth of actions outside the box and a lower long-pass completion, indicating changes to City’s build-up play.
