Gianluigi Donnarumma has almost officially said goodbye to Paris Saint-Germain after four years, ending a glorious but controversial journey at Parc des Princes.
Gianluigi Donnarumma contributed greatly but was eliminated by Enrique
The 26-year-old Italian star made a huge contribution to helping PSG win the Champions League but was removed from the personnel plan for this year's new season by coach Luis Enrique.

The decision to change comes shortly after the French capital club signed goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier from Lille for £48m. Chevalier was appointed as the new No. 1, leaving Donnarumma to find another destination before the summer transfer window closes.
Donnarumma and 9 PSG members - including coach Enrique - are on the list of nominees for the Golden Ball.
In the match against Angers on August 23, the Italian goalkeeper - not on the match registration list - shed tears when he walked to the middle of the Parc des Princes field, bowed and expressed his gratitude to thousands of PSG fans, putting an end to his 4-year journey in Ligue 1.
Donnarumma is no longer in coach Luis Emrique's plans.
Gianluigi Donnarumma only arrived when Ederson left
According to British media, Donnarumma has reached a personal agreement with Man City. The English team is now entering the transfer fee negotiation phase with PSG. The final price is expected to be lower than the initial request of 43.3 million pounds from the French side. However, the deal can only be completed if Ederson - Man City's current number 1 goalkeeper - leaves the Etihad Stadium.
Newcomer Lucas Chevalier takes all the glory in the European Super Cup
Ederson's future is in the spotlight as the Brazilian goalkeeper attracts interest from Galatasaray. Meanwhile, new signing James Trafford has been given the chance to start but made an error in the 0-2 loss to Tottenham, leaving manager Pep Guardiola uncertain.
Therefore, adding a classy goalkeeper like Donnarumma is considered a safe and timely choice for the team aiming to conquer the Premier League throne.

Donnarumma's arrival at Etihad not only brings fierce competition in the Man City goal, but also promises to open a new chapter in the career of the goalkeeper once dubbed "Buffon's successor". With his proven class, his appearance could create an important turning point in the ambition to dominate Europe of the team led by Pep Guardiola.
