Manchester City Signs Donnarumma, Ederson Nears Fenerbahce Move

Manchester City have secured Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain for around £26-30 million on a five-year contract, marking a significant change in their goalkeeping department. Donnarumma arrives as Ederson departs to Fenerbahce for approximately £12.1 million, ending the Brazilian's eight-year tenure at City during which he contributed to multiple Premier League titles and a historic treble. Young goalkeeper James Trafford initially started City's Premier League matches this season but faced criticism, prompting City to sign Donnarumma to compete for the number one spot. Donnarumma's move was contingent on Ederson's exit, as City awaited the completion of the latter's transfer before finalizing the deal. The transition comes ahead of an eagerly anticipated Manchester derby, with both City and United potentially fielding new first-choice goalkeepers. Pep Guardiola’s squad is adjusting to these changes while also exploring additional goalkeeping options, including Stefan Ortega.
