Donnarumma completes Manchester City move as Ederson exits

Manchester City have completed the signing of Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain. Donnarumma has signed a deal worth €30 million ($40.2m). He’s signed a five-year contract to replace Ederson in Cityzens’ squad.

On the other hand, Ederson exits the club after eight years. The Brazilian has joined Fenerbahce for €14m. During his glorious stint with the Sky Blue, Ederson won 15 major trophies, including six Premier League titles.

“To have signed for Manchester City is such a special and proud moment for me,” said Donnarumma.

“I am joining a squad packed with world-class talent and a team led by the one of the greatest managers in the history of football in Pep Guardiola.

“This is a club every player in world football would love to join.

“I have admired watching Manchester City for many years so to now be able to play for the club is a huge honour and a privilege.”

Meanwhile, Ederson won the Premier League Golden Glove award three times in a row between 2020 and 2022.

“I leave Manchester City incredibly proud of what we have achieved together, and I am honoured to have worn the shirt so many times,” said Ederson.

“Under Pep, we have won and dominated the Premier League and conquered Europe. It has been amazing.

“I arrived in Manchester eight years ago full of hope, but I could not have predicted such a beautiful time together.

“Playing for City has been the most special time of my life and I will always be a fan of this special club.”

Furthermore, defender Manuel Akanji has completed his move to Inter Milan.

“I cannot wait to meet the Inter fans at San Siro, in the first home game that we’ll have: I am waiting for that moment,” Akanji told Inter’s website.

Manchester City, who have lost their last two matches, will next face derby rivals Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
