Man City's Donnarumma Expresses Wish to Remain at PSG Before Transfer

Gianluigi Donnarumma revealed that he had wanted to remain at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) before transferring to Manchester City this month. Despite his desire to stay, he acknowledged the welcoming environment he found at Manchester City, where he signed a five-year contract in a deal reportedly worth £30 million. Donnarumma praised PSG for having extraordinary supporters, players, staff, and management, which made leaving difficult after a successful tenure including winning the Champions League last season. Since joining City, he has performed well, conceding just one goal in two matches and making key saves against Manchester United and Arsenal. He expressed gratitude for the positive atmosphere and support at both clubs, highlighting the challenge of change but the importance of feeling part of a big family at City. Donnarumma's comments came after he won the men's Yashin Trophy at the Ballon d'Or ceremony, recognizing him as the best goalkeeper of the season.
