Gianluigi Donnarumma, the 26-year-old goalkeeper for Paris Saint-Germain (contract until 2026), is at the center of rumors. His departure is now certain as Lucas Chevalier (23 years old, France National Team) has arrived from Lille to replace him. We are waiting to know the destination, with Manchester City in pole position. The Athletic takes a closer look at this not-so-simple case.
“Contacts have taken place between Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain regarding Gianluigi Donnarumma. PSG wanted around 40 million euros, but City's valuation is significantly lower. If the clubs reach an agreement, a solution will be found on the personal level. But, crucially, any agreement depends on Ederson's departure from City. At PSG, it is expected that Donnarumma will join the Etihad Stadium, but the situation might not be resolved before September 1st, with all parties striving to get the best possible deal. The 26-year-old Italian international is not expected to join Galatasaray, while Manchester United distanced themselves from him from the start, leaving City as the most realistic option.

We remain cautious, as ultimately the uncertainty continues around Donnarumma. It is especially certain that there is not yet a transfer that is settled. Otherwise, the clubs would have announced it. For the moment, we see the price fluctuating between 30 and a little over 40 million euros. This is quite a range.
There also needs to be the famous departure of Ederson, still as possible without being concrete. Patience is required, with the transfer window closing on Monday evening. Clarity will come at that moment, with the coming days promising to be intense.
