Manchester City Sign Gianluigi Donnarumma as Ederson Joins Fenerbahce

City turn to the Italy captain after PSG sidelined him in favor of Lucas Chevalier.

Overview

  • Donnarumma joins on a five-year contract with an option for a further year after completing a move from PSG.
  • Reported fees place Donnarumma’s transfer at about €35m (£26–30m) and Ederson’s switch to Fenerbahce at around £12m.
  • James Trafford started City’s opening league matches, but Donnarumma is expected to become Pep Guardiola’s first-choice goalkeeper.
  • Pundits highlight questions over Donnarumma’s distribution in a Guardiola system, contrasting with Ederson’s renowned ball-playing.
  • PSG made Donnarumma available after omitting him from their Super Cup squad following the arrival of Lucas Chevalier, clearing the path for City’s move.
