Donnarumma joins Manchester City from PSG on deadline day

Manchester City completed a late transfer deadline signing for Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma on Tuesday, bringing the 26 year old to the Etihad on a multi year contract as the club moved to replace long serving number one Ederson. The move, announced after the window closed, sees Donnarumma leave Paris Saint Germain for a fee reported in the mid to high 20 millions, with accounts varying between about 26 million and 30 million. City confirmed the transfer is subject to international clearance.

City have offered Donnarumma a contract reported by the club to run for five years with an option for a further 12 months, which would keep him at the club through 2030. Some reports gave differing contract lengths, saying four years to 2029, and media accounts also varied on the exact transfer fee, which reflects differing currency conversions and inclusion of add ons. Club sources said no deal for Donnarumma would proceed without Ederson agreeing to leave, and the Brazilian has agreed a move to Turkish side Fenerbahce, with reported fees for that transfer clustered around 12 million to 14 million.
