The European champion initially asked for 50 million and rejected an offer of 30 million euros. The two parties have reached an agreement in the last hours of Mercato, and the winner of the Champions League will defend the English group's goals.
The goalkeeper of the Italian national, excluded by Luis Enrique after the triumphant season who drove the Parisian club at the first Champions League trophy, signed a five -season contract with a salary of 12 million euros per year.
City sold it on Ederson but bought on Donnarumma
The “green wave” for Donnarumma's adventure in the Premier League came after Manchester City and Fenerbahce reached an agreement for Brazilian Ederson goalkeeper, 13 million euros plus 2 million representing bonuses.
Ederson was the titular goalkeeper of “citizens” since 2017, when he was bought by Guardiola for 40 million euros, an impressive amount at that time. He won the Champions League, but also 6 titles in the Premier League.
However, this season, Guardiola decided to transfer young James Trafford to Burnley for 31 million euros, and the Brazilian passed on the reserve bench. The problems in the defensive and the uncertainty shown by Trafford in the early stages this season caused Manchester to bring another goalkeeper, in Donnarumma's person.
It is an atypical transfer for the Spanish technician who prefers the porters with a good foot game, and Gianluigi does not fit into this category. However, the Italian goalkeeper remains one of the best in the world, being decisive for winning the Champions League trophy in the recent season.
