Gianluigi Donnarumma: Man City ‘the only club I wanted’ | OneFootball

Gianluigi Donnarumma insists joining Manchester City was his “first and only option” this summer.

The Italian goalkeeper joined City from reigning Champions League winners PSG on the final day of the transfer window.

He is in line to make his second appearance for City when they take on Serie A champions Napoli on Thursday in the Champions League.

The 26-year-old reportedly attracted the interest of several clubs this summer but insists he never entertained any offers aside from City’s.

“Well, I was very clear my desire was to come here,” he said. “That was my first and my only option – the only thing I wanted.

“I’m happy to be here at City, a part of this fantastic team, this fantastic family and give so much to these colours, this badge and I really hope to do it for many years to come.

“I thank the manager and for me it’s an honour and a pride to be here and to have him as my coach. It’s history, football history so I am really excited to be here and to have him as my coach.

“I definitely still have a lot to improve, I can still give so much more, that’s my objective – to keep improving and give my all for the team.”
