Football Italia reported on Monday morning that Man City had reached a final agreement to sign Donnarumma for a fee of €27m from PSG. He has put pen to paper on an initial four-year contract, running until the summer of 2029.

Donnarumma will reportedly earn a staggering €15m salary during his first season at the Etihad, which will rise to €16m in his second and €17m for the following two years.

His move to Manchester comes after PSG’s signing of France international Lucas Chevailer, who was brought in after Donnarumma failed to reach an agreement over a new contract extension at the Parc Des Princes. He had been into the final year of his PSG deal before the Man City deal went through.

City will be the third club of the 26-year-old’s professional career, following his time with Milan and later PSG.

He has been brought in despite the fact that Man City signed fellow goalkeeper James Trafford earlier this summer. The Englishman has started in all three of City’s Premier League matches at the start of the 2025-26 campaign.

“Manchester City are pleased to confirm the signing of Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain, subject to international clearance,” the Premier League giants said in a statement.

“The 26-year-old Italian goalkeeper has penned a five-year deal, which will see him stay at the Etihad Stadium through to the summer of 2030.

“Over the course of a hugely impressive career to date, the Italian has gone on to establish a reputation for being one of the finest goalkeepers operating in the European game.

“A tall, commanding and imposing presence standing at 6ft 5ins, Donnarumma arrives at the Etihad armed with a wealth of elite-level experience.

“He established his career with Italian giants AC Milan where, after progressing through their youth ranks and making his senior debut as a 16-year-old, he went on to make more than 250 appearances in total, helping Milan to lift the 2016 Italian Super Coppa.

“Donnarumma then made the move across Europe to France in the summer of 2021 to further his career development, opting to join Paris Saint-Germain where he made an immediate and sustained impact.

“Over the course of four seasons at the Parc des Princes, Donnarumma went on to help PSG claim a quartet of Ligue One crowns, two Coupe de France successes as well as a hat-trick of Trophee des Champions titles.

“His stay in the French capital was then crowned in May of this year when he helped PSG claim a maiden UEFA Champions League title with Luis Enrique’s side beating Internazionale 5-0 in hugely impressive fashion.”
