Gianluigi Donnarumma | Done deal according to Romano

[domalino]

didn't know the contract was coming up, good news.

On the other hand then, wouldn't be surprised if Buffon rides off into the sunset if they win the CL and they earmark this guy to be his 15-20 year successor. They probably already have.

Buffon has said he's playing at least until the World Cup, and there's no way he either leaves Juve before then or Donnarumma goes and plays second fiddle for a season.

This could potentially be a scenario like Sané where Bayern wanted him 12 months later but we sneak in and get him at a time where they can't react.


If we're actually in for him, which I'm not sure about.

 

[Easy]

So be it,he should stay as no 1 at his boyhood club until he has matured,he would never play here for ages

Why do you think he will never play here?

Pep said hes a top keeper and we wouldn't pay 20-30m for him and then bench him. He would probably takes Bravo's spot very quickly.

Pep said he's a top player because he was asked about him. He said the same of James Rodriguez and would say the same about Matty Phillips.

What about Buster Phillips, though?

.... He is going to be one of the best keepers in the world and pretty much every one in football knows this.

 

[bluesince76]

Great keeper, could be a great signing, but suspect Donna Summer is more likely.

 

[MC ID]

A great keeper, but not a great Pep keeper. Don't see it happening at all.

You wanna bet? i'll kick my cat if we buy him and he plays his first prem game as no i

I'll take that bet.

 

[The Blue one!]

City normally get their business (with the player) done early doors and don't end up bidding against another team (see Sterling, Jesus, KDB). The fact that several news sources have said the same thing on the same day suggests to me that we have agreed terms with the player and will now be the only club he will move to.

Which sources mate ? Just the Daily Mail i think

 

[kaz7]

I'll take that bet.

I'm surprised lol

MEN. Sun. Mail. Goal.

MEN. Sun. Mail. Goal.

They're just reporting the Mail's article, it's not like when a rumour gets out and everyone reports it themselves, they're just doing "According to...." gossip articles. No journalists you'd call reliable are reporting it either.

I'd absolutely love it to be true, I just don't think it is.

Fair enough. Although the MEN are staying £20m to the Mail's £30m.

Don't think you can accuse the Sun of doing quite that. In the link below, they're suggesting we're prepared to spend 130 million! Not suggesting they're reliable in any way. :-)

[BringBackSwales]

Fucking hell of a gap between 20M and 130M!

 

[SWP's back]

Fucking hell of a gap between 20M and 130M!

Yeah. I've checked with Diane Abbot and the difference is somewhere between £2,500 and £800m.

20 mill for the player £110 mill for Raiola.

 

[Kompany is King]

He will not go for £20m

 

[Jimbob]

I can't believe someone said he wouldn't get in the team if we spent over £30 million on him, the guy is absolutely quality, if anyone signs him they have a potential great on their hands.
