British media: Manchester City hopes to sign Donaluma for nearly £30m

August 24 Sources revealed to TEAMtalk that Manchester City hopes to sign Donaluma from Paris before the summer window is closed.

British media said that Manchester City's interest in Donnarumma still exists. After a fatal mistake in a new player Trafford made in a 2-0 home loss to Tottenham, Manchester City continued to weigh the possibility of a transfer.

sources insist that Trafford, who joined Manchester City from Burnley this summer, has never been identified as the main goalkeeper of the season, but is just in the competition. This is still part of the plan, which is why Donnarumma continues to be seen as an option, especially as the future of Ederson and Ortega remains uncertain.

Manchester City are exploring the possibility of negotiating to meet the Paris asking price, and they believe that it can even sign Donnarumma for nearly 30 million pounds, rather than the 40 million pounds that Paris has been pushing.

The loss to Tottenham has put Manchester City's goalkeeper situation in the focus, and in the process of seeking stability in key positions, bringing players of Donnarumma's level and experience is considered increasingly important.

Donnarumma is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, winning the Ligue 1 and Champions League titles with Paris last season. Donnarumma's contract with Paris will expire at the end of the season and has announced that it will leave this summer.

reporter Romano said that Donaluma has reached an agreement with Manchester City on personal terms and is eager to join Manchester City and cooperate with Guardiola.
