Manchester City monitoring Gianluigi Donnarumma’s contract talks with PSG | OneFootball

Manchester City are lurking in the background as Gianluigi Donnarumma holds contract talks with Paris Saint-Germain after winning the UEFA Champions League title, as per a new report.

The 26-year-old was in net for the high-flying French outfit who cruised their way to a sensational treble on Saturday courtesy of a stylish 5-0 battering of a meagre Inter side at the Allianz Arena.

Donnarumma has lifted his maiden UEFA Champions League title after years of failure in Paris and has been one of Luis Enrique’s most eye-catching players in a team that has conquered all before itself en route to Ligue 1 and European glory this term.

However, the Italy international, who received huge plaudits for his heroics in the 2021 European Championship penalty shootout win over England, faces an uncertain future at the Parc des Princes as he enters the final 12 months of his contract.

Manchester City have recruited Hugo Viana to take over from Txiki Begiristain as director of football in the summer and are likely to enter the market for a new goalkeeper as Ederson continues to draw interest from Saudi Arabia amidst uncertainty over the future of Stefan Ortega Moreno.

Pep Guardiola is eyeing four to five first-team additions ahead of the 2025-26 campaign and Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak recently outlined the club’s plans to announce all new signings in time for the FIFA Club World Cup, which begins in mid-June.

City are closing in on deals to sign Lyon’s Rayan Cherki and AC Milan’s Tijjani Reijnders to begin their squad overhaul as Kevin De Bruyne nears a two-year move to Napoli after being told he does not feature in the club’s plans next season.

Guardiola will also have a new full-back in his ranks as Kyle Walker searches for a new club after returning from a loan spell at AC Milan, with Manchester City making it clear they are in the market for a new wide defender as they look to sell their former club captain.

As per a new report by Gianluca Di Marzio, Manchester City are waiting for Gianluigi Donnarumma to make a decision on his future at Paris Saint-Germain as they look to bolster their options in goal after a disappointing 2024-25 campaign.

Ederson wanted to leave for Saudi Arabia last summer but a transfer failed to materialise and Ortega Moreno has not convinced Guardiola to take over as number one should the former leave the 2023 treble winners after eight seasons at the Etihad Stadium.

It is understood that none of PSG’s current renewal offers have met Donnarumma’s financial expectations and Manchester City remain in a strong financial position after a few years of lucrative academy and first-team sales should they pursue their interest in the Italian shotstopper.

It remains to be seen if City do seriously target Donnarumma but after keeping a clean sheet in the UEFA Champions League final victory over Inter Milan, it is likely that all parties reach a middle ground and shake hands to tie the 26-year-old down to fresh terms in the French capital.
