The 26-year-old Italy international has signed a five-year contract, becoming Pep Guardiola’s new No.1 following Ederson’s departure to Fenerbahce after eight years at the Etihad.
Donnarumma arrives with an illustrious CV. He helped PSG secure a historic treble last season, including their first-ever Champions League triumph, keeping a clean sheet in the 5-0 final victory over Inter Milan.
He was also Italy’s hero at Euro 2020, saving decisive penalties in both the semi-final and final as the Azzurri lifted the trophy.
Speaking after the move, Donnarumma said:
“To have signed for Manchester City is such a special and proud moment for me. I am joining a squad packed with world-class talent and a team led by 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.”
City’s director of football Hugo Viana hailed the signing as a major coup:
“Gianluigi’s pedigree, quality and record speak for themselves. He has a wealth of top-level experience and knows what it takes to achieve success on a sustained level. We are absolutely thrilled he has joined us.”
Donnarumma made 247 appearances for AC Milan after breaking into the first team as a 16-year-old in 2015, before moving to PSG in 2021. He wore several shirt numbers in Paris but will now don the No.25 jersey at City.
