"That was my only option, the only thing I wanted. My only choice was to come here... so I am happy to be here at City and be part of this fantastic team. Before the summer I knew that City were very interested in me, the relationship strengthened after the Club World Cup. I knew the coach was pushing for my arrival here, everyone wanted me here, it gave me such pride to see such a demonstration of affection."
"Aside from a fantastic player, one of the best in the world, if not the best in the world, [Haaland] is a fantastic person as well and that is what makes him even better in a way. I have got an incredible relationship with him, he immediately welcomed me. It feels like I have been here for many years, the way they welcomed me."
Gianluigi Donnarumma joined Manchester City on transfer deadline day for £26m after being deemed surplus to requirements by Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique. The 26-year-old helped PSG win three trophies last season, including the Champions League. Donnarumma made clear that Manchester City was his only option, citing strengthened relations after the Club World Cup and the coach's push for his arrival as motivating factors. He kept a clean sheet on his Premier League debut in a 3-0 win over Manchester United, made a stunning save to deny Bryan Mbeumo, and described the squad as family-like with strong unity and welcome from teammates.
