Donnaruma's future is uncertain at the moment. City appears as a new option, as Ederson is aiming to sign for Galatasaray. However, PSG is asking for a lot for 'Gigio'.
Manchester City is looking for a replacement for Ederson. The Mancunian team, upon learning of the situation that Gianluigi Donnaruma is going through with Paris Saint-Germain, has considered signing him, as long as Luis Enrique's team agrees to negotiate.
The Italian goalkeeper was not called up for the UEFA Super Cup match against Tottenham. The 'citizens' have already had conversations with the French to ask about Donnaruma, reported journalist Fabrice Hawkins.
For his part, Fabrizio Romano indicated that PSG will ask for 50 million for Donnaruma's transfer, an amount that does not fit the English budget, but they would be willing to make an effort if Ederson is transferred.
Donnaruma won practically everything with PSG in his last season, being the goalkeeper in 48 matches in which he obtained Ligue 1, the French Cup and the Champions League, he only failed to win the Club World Cup, a tournament he lost in the final against Chelsea. However, he has been removed from the team after the signing of Lucas Chevalier.

In an interview for 'Sky Sports', 'Gigio's' representative, Enzo Raiola, said he was surprised by PSG's position. "We are shocked by PSG. There is no respect from the club after 4 years together," said the agent. In principle, the goalkeeper is willing to lower his salary to facilitate a loan, but Paris only wants money for his transfer.
Manchester United and Inter Milan also want Donnaruma
Similarly, Raiola said they expect offers from an English team. "Now we will consider solutions, perhaps in the Premier League there are clubs capable of paying what is necessary," added the 26-year-old footballer's representative.
In addition to City, Manchester United is interested in the Italian goalkeeper because they want a goalkeeper who guarantees security in the goal. The 'red devils' have not been happy with the performance shown by André Onana
On the other hand, Inter Milan has been considering the hiring of Donnaruma because they are looking for a replacement for Yan Sommer, whose contract expires in June 2026.
Galatasaray goes for Ederson to cover the vacancy of Fernando Muslera
Once the 24/25 season ended, Galatasaray said goodbye to the Uruguayan Fernando Muslera, who terminated his contract to go to Estudiantes de La Plata (Argentina). The Turkish team is looking for an experienced goalkeeper who can fill that void and have thought of Ederson, from Manchester City.
The Brazilian only has one year left on his contract and Pep Guardiola has already given the green light for his departure. Initially, the Ottoman club offered 3 million euros, but the 'sky blue' team hopes to obtain a figure close to 10 'kilos' for this operation. The Turks also had Marc-André ter Stegen on their radar, but the FC Barcelona captain's injury disrupted that option.
On the other hand, City signed goalkeeper James Trafford for the next five seasons, who comes from being runner-up in the Championship with Burnley in 24/25, leaving the goal at zero in 29 of 45 matches of the tournament. Will Gianluigi Donnarumma be the next 'cityzen' goalkeeper?
