It is understood that Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain have almost agreed to a 30 million euro transfer agreement for Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnaruma.
However, Donnarumma’s move from PSG to Man City is currently supported by the need for the Premier League Giants to sell Adason to Galatasaray.
Sources with a good understanding of the situation provide information Catch off side The city is confident in confirming Donnaruma’s signature before tomorrow’s deadline.
However, several sources within the industry suggest that Chelsea keeps an eye on the situation of Italian shotstoppers, so it may still be something to watch.
Manchester United also had an interest in Donnaruma, but their focus is now on signing Senne Ranmens of Antwerp.
What we’re hearing about Gianluigi Donnaruma’s move to Manchester City
One well-placed source provided us with insight into the state of play regarding Donnarumma and Ederson.
“The city has already reached Donnaruma and personal conditions,” our source said. “He rejected the club’s offer for a new contract and admitted he was disappointed with how he was treated.
“The only one holding the deal is Adason’s potential exit. Discussions are underway with Galatasaray for the Brazilian Keeper, and once he leaves, City is ready to take Donnaruma.
“PSG initially demanded €50 million, but the city’s offer rose to around €30 million. PSG is now cutting its asking price to €26 million, with trading approaching.”
Can Chelsea hijack Donnaruma’s deal?
Despite many sources confirming Chelsea’s interest in Donnaruma, the overall feeling is that the slow movements at the 26-year-old are unlikely.
The Bruce had taken multiple goalkeeper targets seriously this summer, but their most specific option was that AC Milan’s Mike Maignan was early in the window, and the deal couldn’t be agreed.
Since then, Chelsea have decided not to make the new “keeper a priority.” Enzo Maresca and other important figures will be happy to continue with Robert Sanchez as the club’s number one.
If the city can complete Adason sales, there shouldn’t be much else to prevent Donnal Mama from becoming an urban player.
