Whis is Donnaruma leaving PSG?
Donnarumma, a European Championship winner with Italy and a Champions League victor with PSG, has been told he is no longer in the club's plans following the arrival of Lucas Chevalier from Lille. Despite playing a key role in PSG’s treble-winning campaign last season, he has been encouraged to find a new club before the transfer window closes.
Man City to sign Donnarumma?
The farewell-like scene comes as Donnarumma is reportedly in advanced talks with Manchester City. The Premier League champions are exploring a move for the Italian, especially with uncertainty surrounding Ederson’s future. Despite James Trafford’s solid debut after his £27m move from Burnley, Guardiola is keen to add experience and competition to his goalkeeping options.
