Manchester City Eye Shock Move for Champions League-Winning Goalkeeper Donnarumma
In a stunning twist ahead of the 2025/2026 club football season, Manchester City have been linked with a sensational transfer move for PSG’s Gianluigi Donnarumma, fresh off his 2025 UEFA Champions League triumph.
The news comes despite City’s recent buy-back of James Trafford earlier this summer—a move many assumed would close the chapter on their search for a high-profile goalkeeper. Yet reports suggest Pep Guardiola remains keen on securing an elite, long-term No. 1, and Donnarumma has emerged as a name firmly on his radar.
Guardiola is said to be a long-standing admirer of the 25-year-old Italian, who has also attracted interest from Chelsea and Manchester United. Widely regarded as one of the most complete goalkeepers in the modern game, Donnarumma is celebrated for his towering 6’5″ frame, lightning-fast reflexes, and remarkable composure under pressure.

Speculation over his future intensified after his surprise omission from PSG’s squad for the 2025 UEFA Super Cup. While no formal negotiations between Manchester City and PSG have been reported, the situation has fueled chatter that Donnarumma could become a serious target if circumstances align.
This development has also revived talk of a potential exit for Ederson, with fresh reports linking the Brazilian to Galatasaray. Should that move materialize, City’s pursuit of Donnarumma could gain momentum.
For now, the Italian shot-stopper’s next step remains uncertain, but his possible availability adds another layer of intrigue to Guardiola’s transfer plans. With players like Jack Grealish and others tipped to leave, the City boss appears intent on reshaping his already formidable squad—and Donnarumma could yet be part of that vision.
