Manchester City are exploring options for a new goalkeeper if Ederson departs this summer, with Paris Saint-Germain’s Gianluigi Donnarumma emerging as a potential target. Reports suggest that Donnarumma, Italy’s number-one keeper, is open to a move to the Premier League.
However, replacing Ederson, known for his exceptional shot-stopping and distribution skills, is no easy task. Donnarumma, despite his impressive credentials and status as one of the top goalkeepers in world football, is not known for his prowess with the ball at his feet. This skill set is crucial for City’s playing style under Pep Guardiola.
While Donnarumma is a quality keeper, his limitations in ball distribution may make him a less ideal fit for City’s needs. Currently, Stefan Ortega, who recently signed a contract extension, could be City’s next number-one keeper if Ederson leaves.
As the transfer window progresses, City will likely continue to be linked with various goalkeepers. While Donnarumma’s name is now being mentioned, it remains uncertain whether he will be a realistic target for the champions.
