Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain, subject to international clearance. The 26-year-old goalkeeper has signed a five-year deal that keeps him at the Etihad until 2030. Standing at 6ft 5ins, Donnarumma brings presence, pedigree and proven success at both club and international level. He arrives as a Champions League winner with PSG and will now look to write a new chapter in the Premier League under Pep Guardiola.
Donnarumma’s career began at AC Milan, where he burst into the first team aged just 16. Across six seasons, he amassed over 250 appearances and quickly became a cornerstone of the side. He lifted the Italian Super Coppa in 2016 and was named Serie A’s Best Goalkeeper in 2021 before departing for Paris. His growth into a world-class number one was underlined by season after season of high-level consistency.

His move to Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 marked the start of another dominant spell. Donnarumma won four Ligue 1 titles, two Coupe de France trophies and three Trophee des Champions crowns. His peak in Paris came this year, when PSG claimed their first Champions League crown with a 5-0 win over Internazionale in Munich. He played a decisive role in the knockout stages, making penalty shoot-out saves against Liverpool and Arsenal.
Reflecting on his decision to join City, Donnarumma said: “To have signed for Manchester City is such a special and proud moment for me. I am joining a squad packed with world-class talent and a team led by one of the greatest managers in the history of football. I have admired watching Manchester City for many years – so to now be able to play for the Club is a huge honour.”
International pedigree with Italy
Donnarumma has also been a defining figure for Italy since debuting at 17 against France in 2016. He now has 76 caps and remains first choice for the Azzurri. His most iconic contribution came at EURO 2020, when he produced decisive penalty saves against Spain in the semi-final and England in the final at Wembley. UEFA named him Player of the Tournament, making him the first goalkeeper ever to win the award.

City’s Director of Football Hugo Viana hailed the move, saying: “Gianluigi’s pedigree, quality and record speaks for itself, and we are all absolutely thrilled he has joined us here at City. From a remarkably young age, he has played at the very top level. That is unusual for a goalkeeper and it means he arrives here as one of the best in the world in his position.” Viana added that Donnarumma will bring “further quality and depth” to the goalkeeping department.
With a career already packed with trophies, clean sheets and high-pressure performances, Donnarumma arrives in Manchester ready to compete at the very top. At just 26, he is entering his peak years, and his long-term contract highlights City’s confidence in his ability to deliver across domestic and European campaigns. Guardiola has secured a commanding, battle-tested goalkeeper who could anchor City’s back line for the next decade.
