Man City Signs Donnarumma as Ederson Exits Goalkeeper Role

Gianluigi Donnarumma has joined Manchester City from Paris Saint-Germain and is committed to improving his ball-playing and distribution skills to meet Pep Guardiola's tactical demands. Known primarily as a top shot-stopper, Donnarumma acknowledges the need to adapt to City's possession-based style, which requires goalkeepers to contribute significantly to build-up play. He replaces Ederson, who was praised for revolutionizing the goalkeeper role with his composure and passing range. Despite some previous struggles with ball control at PSG, Donnarumma is eager to work under Guardiola, expressing pride in being wanted by what he calls the best club in the world. The Italian goalkeeper has signed a five-year contract and is focused on aligning his style with Guardiola’s philosophy while preparing for upcoming challenges with the Italian national team. His arrival signals Manchester City's long-term planning to sustain their competitive edge in the Premier League and Europe.
