Gigi Donnarumma makes a surprise move to Manchester City
Donnarumma, who had been left out of the squad for the European Super Cup wants play with the "Citizens".
The smoke of the "goodbye" of the international Italian goalkeeper, Gigi Donnarumma to Paris Saint-Germain also had... fire! Donnarumma, who had been left out of the squad for the European Super Cup match against Tottenham, by his coach, Luis Enrique, effectively marked the end of his relationship with the European champion 2025 French team.
The international Italian goalkeeper said goodbye to the Paris Saint-Germain fans and seems to be preparing for the next significant step in his career that will lead him to the Premier League and Manchester City. Of course, Manchester United had shown interest and even intense interest in Donnarumma first, but the Citizens are the ones who seem to be winning the race.
City accelerated with Gigi Donnarumma and came to an agreement with him after communication with Pep Guardiola, as reported by L` Equipe.
Donnarumma spoke on the phone with Pep Guardiola, and both men agreed. In fact, he gave the "green light" for his case to proceed and become a resident of the "Etihad"!.
Now, the ball is in the hands of the English team, who want to negotiate a lucrative deal for the 26-year-old Italian goalkeeper. His contract normally expires next summer (2026) but he is expected to be allowed an... easy exit.
Donnarumma has had a fantastic season and contributed greatly to Paris Saint-Germain's treble. However, his Spanish coach, Luis Enrique, has stated that he wants something different under the posts and has effectively left him out of the team. This is why Paris recently acquired 24-year-old French goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier from Lille for 40 million euros.
Meanwhile, Gigi Donnarumma addressed the end of his collaboration with Paris through his message, emphasizing the following features:
It is now a given that Paris Saint-Germain will not continue its collaboration with Gigi Donnarumma who may not have (officially) left yet, but has already said goodbye to the team and its fans, leaving ... sharp edges towards Luis Enrique's face.
The Spanish coach left him out of the squad for the Super Cup against Tottenham and in the press conference ahead of the match... publicly dismissed him.
"It is my decision not to continue with us, I want a goalkeeper who will give us different things," said Luis Enrique, who took responsibility for cutting the Italian.
Gigi's "farewell" to the fans
Meanwhile, Gigi Donnarumma addressed the end of his collaboration with Paris through his message, emphasizing the following features:
Donnarumma, however, gave his answer a few hours later and in a public statement expressed his disappointment for this development and said "goodbye" to Paris Saint-Germain.
From here on out, we expect developments as the managements of Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain now have the floor...
