Ammon News - Manchester City have signed Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain on a five-year contract, the Premier League club said on Tuesday, after agreeing to Ederson's departure to Turkish club Fenerbahce.

Financial details were not disclosed but British media reported that City paid 30 million pounds ($40.5 million) for Donnarumma, who will wear the number 99 shirt, and agreed to sell Ederson for 12 million pounds.

"Gianluigi's pedigree, quality and record speaks for itself, and we are all absolutely thrilled he has joined us here at City," said City's Director of Football Hugo Viana.

"He has accumulated a wealth of top-level experience and knows what is required to achieve success on a sustained level."
Ederson's departure to Turkish side Fenerbahce on a permanent transfer on Tuesday morning paved the way for Donnarumma's signing.

British media reported that Ederson's transfer fee was worth around 12 million pounds ($16.2 million).

The 26-year-old Donnarumma joined PSG from AC Milan in 2021 and was a key factor in their first Champions League triumph earlier this year as part of a treble, but then fell out of favour at the club.
