Man City step up chase of 'excellent' Champions League winner after Spurs defeat
Briefly

Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are negotiating a transfer for goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who has already agreed personal terms with Manchester City. PSG initially valued Donnarumma at around €50 million but City are expected to pay less if talks progress. A move would give Donnarumma the chance to work under Pep Guardiola and test himself in the Premier League. City signed James Trafford but view him as inexperienced at the top level after a shaky outing versus Tottenham. Much depends on Ederson's future, with Galatasaray linked; Ederson's departure would clear the path for Donnarumma.
Manchester City are edging closer to what could be one of the biggest goalkeeper transfers of the summer, with Gianluigi Donnarumma having already agreed personal terms to join Pep Guardiola's side. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Italian international is keen on making the move to the Premier League champions, but the deal is still contingent on several key factors before it can be finalised. Discussions between City and Paris Saint-Germain are understood to be progressing,
Man City could sign Donnarumma in bargain fee PSG initially valued their goalkeeper at around 50 million, but Romano reports that City are expected to secure the player for less than that figure should negotiations continue smoothly. A switch to the Etihad would not only provide Donnarumma with the opportunity to work under Guardiola but also to test himself in the Premier League.
Donnarumma's potential transfer is not yet a foregone conclusion. Much depends on the future of Ederson, Man City's current No.1. The Brazilian has been linked with a summer move to Galatasaray, and City will not push forward for Donnarumma until Ederson's situation is resolved. Should the Turkish giants succeed in luring Ederson away, the path would be clear for Donnarumma to become Guardiola's new long-term goalkeeper.
