Donnarumma has spoken to Pep Guardiola, who is personally pushing for the transfer.

Man City must now negotiate with PSG to come to an agreement on a transfer fee.

Donnarumma to Man City?

Fabrizio Romano has also confirmed talks between City and Donnarumma.

He says that PSG are currently asking for €50 million to sell, which is far too high for City.

He adds that before signing Donnarumma, City must first sell Ederson, who is in talks with Galatasaray.

Donnarumma announced on Tuesday that he is leaving PSG after being forced out of the club by manager Luis Enrique, who wants a goalkeeper who is better with his feet.

This comes amidst failed contract renewal talks this summer to his deal that expires in 2026.

PSG wanted to reduce his base salary, which is currently €10m a year net, and give him performance-related add-ons instead.

Donnarumma rejected this and the European champions made the decision to sign Lucas Chevalier from Lille.

Donnarumma was left out of the European Super Cup squad to play against Tottenham this week in a clear sign that he has no future.

Man Utd, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Galatasaray and Inter have all been linked too.

The Italian is arguably the best goalkeeper in the world right now after a series of sensational performances in the Champions League triumph last season.

Donnarumma played a pivotal role in PSG winning the tournament with decisive performances on their run to the final.

Against Liverpool in the last-16, Donnarumma made two big saves in the penalty shootout from Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones to take PSG through.

Against Aston Villa in the next round, he performed a series of impossible saves to prevent a stirring second leg comeback in Birmingham.

And then in the semi-final success over Arsenal, Donnarumma made four miraculous saves - two in each leg - to ensure PSG won both legs and 3-1 on aggregate.

In the final itself, Donnarumma had little to do as PSG thrashed Inter 5-0 in Munich.

Having debuted at the age of 16, Donnarumma already has 10 years of experience and over 400 club appearances under his belt for Milan and PSG.

He also has been capped 74 times for Italy, winning Player of the Tournament at Euro 2020 as the Azzurri won the trophy.

He has a particularly impressive record against English teams and on English soil, most memorably in the Euro 2020 final shootout win against England.
