Yashin Winner Donnarumma Settles at Man City as PSG Faces Questions Over Chevalier

His award-night remarks framed a difficult Paris departure alongside a settled five-year move to Manchester.

Overview

  • Gianluigi Donnarumma won the 2025 Yashin Trophy as best men’s goalkeeper, his second after 2021, and placed ninth in the Ballon d'Or voting.
  • He told reporters he would have preferred to remain at PSG but said he is content at Manchester City on a five-year contract.
  • Installed immediately as City’s starter, he has two clean sheets and just one goal conceded in his first three matches, drawing praise for his command and presence.
  • PSG signed Lucas Chevalier to suit Luis Enrique’s profile preference, and scrutiny of that choice increased after a costly mistake in a 1-0 defeat at Marseille.
  • Published reports differ on City’s fee to PSG (commonly cited around £26–30 million), and separate single-source claims of a prior Manchester United approach and wage demands remain unverified.
