There have reportedly been important developments over the Gianluigi Donnarumma to Manchester City transfer saga in the last 48 hours.
That’s according to Alfredo Pedulla for Football Italia, with City and PSG engaging in positive talks as they seemingly edge closer towards an agreement.
Pedulla claims there has been significant progress during negotiations over Donnarumma’s fee, which is likely to come down from PSG’s initial high asking price.
At first, it looked like the Ligue 1 giants would demand as much as €45-50m for the Italian goalkeeper, which City were keen not to pay.
PSG could now accept quite a bit less than that as they’re keen to offload Donnarumma and save money from getting his high wages off their books.

Although the Brazilian shot-stopper has been a great servant to the club, it seems clear that he’s no longer trusted as Pep Guardiola’s number one.
Pedulla’s report notes that Galatasaray are keen to sign Ederson, with negotiations ongoing over a potential sale.
Donnarumma could be a major upgrade on Ederson, while James Trafford has also already moved to City this summer.
