Gianluigi Donnarumma has signed a monster contract at new club Manchester City following his Deadline Day transfer to Manchester City from PSG.
Man City have not yet officially announced the deal but they did indeed complete the signing of Donnarumma from PSG before the Premier League window closed on Monday evening.

The transfer fee is different depending on which source you believe, mostly ranging from €20-25 million.
However, it is his contract that really raises eyebrows.
Alfredo Pedulla, who was the first journalist to break the news on Donnarumma to City well back in May, has revealed the terms of the Italian's earnings.
Pedulla says that Donnarumma will earn a mouthwatering €16m per year that could rise to €18m with bonuses.
With a contract until 2030, that means Donnarumma could earn as much as €90m over the five years at the Etihad.
Donnarumma to Man City
Donnarumma replaces Ederson, who has moved to Fenerbahce.
Donnarumma was waiting for Ederson to move to Turkey before his transfer could go through.
The Brazilian has now completed his transfer to Fenerbahce for a fee of €13-14 million.
PSG had initially been asking for around €45-50m for Donnarumma but the fee was whittled down.
Pep Guardiola personally pushed for the transfer and hopes the Italian can inspire a team who have made a poor start to the Premier League season.
The Italian announced a few weeks ago that he was leaving PSG after being forced out of the club by manager Luis Enrique, who wanted a goalkeeper who is better with his feet.
This came amidst failed contract renewal talks this summer to his deal that was due to expire in 2026.
PSG wanted to reduce his base salary, which was €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 in a clear sign that he had no future.
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.
