Gianluigi Donnarumma is excited to be a Manchester City player.

Speaking with mancity.com, Gianluigi Donnarumma has spoken of his pride in being signed by Manchester City. The Italian goalkeeper is also excited by the challenge of playing in the Premier League. He explained: “It’s a new chapter in my life and my career. Playing in the Premier League with Manchester City is a great emotion for me, and I’m ready for this challenge.”

“I’ve always dreamt about playing in the Premier League, as it’s the best league in the world.”

“For a player, I think achieving in the Premier League is the maximum for his career. Therefore, I’m really happy to be here. I’m willing to take to the pitch for his club, who has been craving so much to sign me, and I hope I can pay that trust back.”

Donnarumma further explained that he is proud to be managed by Pep Guardiola. Manchester City’s new goalkeeper believes that being managed by Guardiola is the pinnacle for a player: “I think his history speaks for itself. The fact that he wanted me here is a reason to be proud of. It’s an indescribable emotion.”

“Being coached by him, I think, is the best for a football player. I can’t wait to follow him and take to the pitch with him.”

“I’m sure he will help me a lot and we will do great things together, this season as well as in the following years.”

Gianluigi Donnarumma’s interview shows that he will quickly become a leader in Pep Guardiola’s squad.

Listening to Gianluigi Donnarumma speak, his pride about becoming a Manchester City player shines through. In Donnarumma’s eyes, playing in a Pep Guardiola side is the pinnacle and a challenge he is ready to face head-on. But his leadership qualities also shine through when listening to him speak. Outside of his ability as a goalkeeper, those leadership traits will be crucial to Manchester City.

As Manchester City continues its rebuild, they have seen a host of leaders leave the club. The challenge is now there for City’s players to become leaders in their own right. Bernardo Silva, Rodri, Ruben Dias, and Erling Haaland form Manchester City’s captaincy group for this season. By signing Gianluigi Donnarumma, City have added another leader to their ranks. Donnarumma’s leadership qualities will be vital to Pep Guardiola’s side. It will be fascinating to see how quickly those attributes shine through in Donnarumma’s play for Manchester City.

There is a chance that Gianluigi Donnarumma could make his Manchester City debut against Manchester United on Sunday. Listening to him speak it will be a challenge he will be more than up for. His leadership qualities will likely be needed at the back if he does start in a Manchester derby that his team must win.
