- Talks to sell Ederson to Galatasaray are ongoing with offers reported at €10–12m, and City’s pursuit of Donnarumma is tied to that outcome.
- PSG have frozen out Donnarumma after stalled renewal talks and installed Lucas Chevalier, reinforcing their intent to complete a sale before his 2026 contract end.
- Alfredo Pedullà reports Pep Guardiola wants Donnarumma, while Guardiola has publicly stressed that his goalkeepers must both save and play under his system.
- Journalist Nicolo Schira says there is an agreement in principle on personal terms through 2030 for Donnarumma at City, pending club-to-club agreement.
