Man City will make move for Gianluigi Donnarumma on one condition
Gianluigi Donnarumma is a target for Manchester City this summer, but he will only be approached if Ederson leaves the club. The Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper is destined to depart the club only a few months after winning the Champions League. Donnarumma looks set to leave PSG this summerGetty In an emotional statement released on Tuesday, Donnarumma all-but confirmed his days in the French capital are numbered. “To the special Paris fans,” Donnarumma said. “From the first day I arrived, I gave everything – on and off the pitch – to earn my place and defend the goal of Paris Saint-Germain. “Unfortunately, someone has decided that I can no longer be part of the group and contribute to the team’s success. I am disappointed and disheartened. “I hope to have the opportunity to look the fans at the Parc des Princes in the eyes one more time and say goodbye as it should be done. “If that doesn’t happen, I want you to know that your support and affection mean the world to me, and I will never forget it. I will always carry with me the memory of all the emotions, the magical nights, and of you, who made me feel at home. “To my teammates – my second family – thank you for every battle, every laugh, every moment we shared. You will always be my brothers. “Playing for this club and living in this city has been an immense honour. Thank you, Paris.” Earlier in the week, was left out of the PSG squad to face Tottenham in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday night, which is live on talkSPORT. The French giants are believed to see their new signing Lucas Chevalier as their No.1 keeper instead. Donnarumma is being targeted by Man City, but any approach is on a big conditionGetty talkSPORT understands that Donnarumma is open to a switch to the Premier League. Chelsea have been linked to the European champion, but no talks have taken place between the two parties. Manchester United are another team rumoured to be interested, along with their rivals Manchester City. However, talkSPORT understands that Donnarumma will only become a target for Man City if their current No.1 departs this summer. Ederson has been City’s first choice goalkeeper for almost a decade since he joined in 2017, but now his future may be placed into doubt. But they will only make a move if Ederson departs the EtihadGetty Where has Ederson been linked? Man City may now consider letting Ederson leave the club, despite him saying his future is at the Etihad Stadium in June. Amid reports of a move to Saudi Arabia earlier this summer, the Brazilian said: “My future is here. “Some friends send me a lot of news, but 99 per cent is fake news. I understand you guys. “You need the news to put a like on social media, or rant for the news. I understand but there’s a lot of fake news around my name.” However, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has now reported that Turkish giants Galatasaray have approached City for Ederson.
