Manchester City's Strategic Goalkeeper Swap: Donnarumma In, Ederson Out
Manchester City is set to replace Ederson with Gianluigi Donnarumma in a major transfer move, reshaping their goalkeeping strategy.



Manchester City is making headlines with their strategic goalkeeping changes as they are in advanced talks to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris St-Germain for a fee just over £30m. This move comes as Ederson, the Brazilian goalkeeper, is set to join Turkish side Fenerbahce.
Donnarumma's Arrival
Donnarumma, aged 26, has become surplus to requirements at PSG following the signing of Lucas Chevalier from Lille. With his contract ending this season, the Italian international is poised to join City in a deal costing 35m euros (£30.3m) before the transfer deadline.
Ederson's Departure
Ederson, who has been City's first-choice goalkeeper since 2017, is moving to Fenerbahce for £12.1m (14m euros). The 32-year-old has had a stellar career at City, winning six Premier League titles, the Champions League, and the FA Cup.
Impact on City's Goalkeeping Lineup
City's current number one, James Trafford, signed from Burnley for £27m, might see competition from Donnarumma. Additionally, sources indicate that Stefan Ortega is aiming to move away from City, with Marcus Bettinelli being signed from Chelsea this summer.
Recent Performances
Guardiola's team started the season with a 4-0 victory at Wolves but have since faced back-to-back defeats in the Premier League against Tottenham and Brighton.
Donnarumma's Credentials
Regarded as one of the best goalkeepers globally, Donnarumma has won 74 caps for Italy and was instrumental in Italy's Euro 2020 victory over England in a penalty shootout.
This transfer could significantly bolster City's defensive capabilities as they aim to regain their top form in the league.
