Manchester City is ready to sign Paris St Germain -goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, but only if they can agree to sell Edererson on Turkish side Galatasaray
The target of Manchester City Gianluigi Donnarumma can leave Paris St. Germain for only £ 26 million – after the European champions have lowered their asking price.
Donnarumma, 26, wants to move to the city, but the blues will only go to the Italy star if they can agree with Galatasaray for their long-standing no. 1 Ederson.
Ederson's first two games of the new season, while his future has not yet been resolved, with Galatasaray failed with a first £ 8.5 million offer for the Brazil international.
City is looking for at least double that figure for the 32-year-old, who has been Pep Guardiola's first-choice goalkeeper since he joined Benfica in 2017.
Each deal for Donnarumma depends on the departure of Or Nomouwon, where the city expects a second improved bid from Galatasaray this week.
If a fee can be agreed with Galatasaray for Ederson, City will quickly move to close a deal for Donnarumma, who has lost his first-choice status at PSG to Lucas Chevalier.
PSG initially wanted no less than £ 40 million for Donnarumma, but with the time for Transfer Deadline Day on Monday, the ruling Champions League holders have revised their asking price.
James Trafford, 22, who came to City again this summer in a £ 27 million deal, this season both Premier League matches started in front of Guardiola, but was the mistake for Tottenham's second goal in a 2-0 defeat in the Etihad on Saturday.
Guardiola, however, was quick to defend Trafford after the game and stated: “He made a good first game and I decided to continue. When I made decisions in the first part of the season – for all players you play one or two [games] – Everyone thinks: “Ok, this is the start setup.” It was just today that I decided that. “
He continued: “We missed the simple things. The effort and running is extraordinary and I have no doubt. We have created opportunities, we have made enough. It happened, it's football. It's just the second game.
“The last game versus wolves everyone said that everything was fine, but I said,” It's just the first game. ” It's the same now.
