Transfer news – Donnarumma heading to Manchester City, Gattuso confirms! | OneFootball

Gianluigi Donnarumma, 26-year-old goalkeeper for Paris Saint-Germain (contract until 2026), has stirred up the transfer market with a departure desired by the club, while Lucas Chevalier (23 years old, French national team) has arrived from Lille to replace him. He is expected to sign with Manchester City on this final day. Italian coach Gennaro Gattuso confirmed the news in a press conference.

The departure of Gianluigi Donnarumma, who arrived on a free transfer in 2021 at Paris Saint-Germain after his triumph at the Euros with Italy, fits both a sporting and economic logic. Luis Enrique seemed to prefer a more open rotation, and the sale provides a welcome financial boost for PSG, eager to comply with the balance required by UEFA.

At Manchester City, the 25-year-old goalkeeper is expected to replace Ederson (31 years old), who is about to join Fenerbahçe. The transfer, estimated at 30 million euros, also illustrates the English club’s ability to plan for the long term, betting on a player who is already experienced but still young for his position.
