It seems that the final conditions for Manchester City's transfer are being met. Sky Sports said on the 1st (Korea time) that Manchester City is negotiating with Fenerbahce over the transfer of Ederson. Currently, the chances of success are quite high. If Ederson is cleared, Manchester City will bring in a new goalkeeper. The player is Donnarum.
Donnarumma released a statement on his personal channel on the 13th of last month. This is what he left shortly after he was excluded from the list of the 2025 UEFA Super Cup match between PSG and Tottenham on the 14th. Donnarumma, whose contract with PSG ends by June 2026, was facing his final season without being able to renew his contract.
Donnarumma, who opened the text "Dear Paris fans" "From the first day I came here, I put everything in and out of the stadium to keep my place and to keep PSG's goal. Unfortunately, however, someone has decided that I can no longer be part of the squad, and I can't contribute to the success of this team. It's so disappointing, so discouraging."
Although he did not name any particular person, 'Someone' can be assumed to be PSG director Luis Enrique or a particular leader. Regarding Donnarumma's exclusion from the Super Cup entry, Enrique said it was "100% my decision and my responsibility."

Then "My second family, my team members. Thank you for every game, every smile, every moment we've played together. You will always remain my brothers. It was a great honor to play for PSG and stay in Paris. Thank you, Paris."
In fact, it was a declaration of separation. Donnarumma's agent, Enzo Raiola, said "Gio (Donnarumma)'s remarks clearly show that the young player is deeply disappointed. It's really shocking. Four years of respect and great achievements collapsed in just 10 days. Everything we have achieved with PSG is on the verge of going up in smoke," he told Sky Sports.
Raiola continued "I didn't expect what had happened in the last 10 days. It was a great lack of respect to let Donnarumma go." "He even expressed his intention to cut his salary, but each time, PSG changed the terms of the contract."," he said, expressing his willingness to take legal action through an attorney.
Donnarumma, a former AC Milan youth who left AC Milan to join PSG in 2021, has kept the goal as the main goalkeeper for four years. Although he was criticized for his ups and downs, he contributed to PSG's first treble by showing off his best defense ability in the 2024-2025 season.

After a touching moment, Donnarumma still remained at PSG. In fact, the destination was decided as Manchester City early on. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is said to have even spoken directly to Donnarumma. However, no further news has been heard since then. According to the RMC, Manchester City have almost reached a personal agreement with Donnarumma.
However, two conditions were not met. The first is the negotiation of transfer fees. PSG wants 50 million euros, but Manchester City has no intention of investing this amount in a player with only one year left on his contract. Manchester City are thinking about 30 to 35 million euros. On top of that, Ederson's transfer has not yet been completed.
Ederson's trip to Fenerbahce is imminent, and only negotiations on transfer fees are left, but given the reality that PSG will not receive a penny if they fail to send Donnarumma this summer, it is highly likely that it will end up as Manchester City wants. Local media also predicted that Donnarumma would wear a Manchester City uniform.
