Gianluigi Donnarumma | Done deal according to Romano

[Giovinco]

And we want Ederson, who is the best in the world with the ball at his feet, to leave and sign somebody who can't even trap a bag of sand with his feet?

I’m not sure he’s as bad as you’re making out ancoats but we may be changing our style of football

 

[Gumzy97]

I think the English media are way behind when it comes to us. We wouldn't be moving for Donnarumma if we didn't think Ederson was close to going. The French journalist as well is one of the most reliable when it comes to PSG he's saying we've agreed terms.

 

[bluemc]

Genuine question, why are PSG ditching him for another keeper?

There were whispers that he's not great with his feet, but no-one has really mentioned it so I guess that's nothing to be worried about.

 

[Nails]

There’s nothing to suggest that is the case

Apart from credible French sources saying it.

Why ? Ederson is a world-class keeper and the best with the ball at his feet ? just stop this messing about give Ederson a pay rise and a new contract, We also just signed Trafford, and he's the future at city

All transfers are 2 steps ahead of whats reported so we will be sorting out the Ederson structure and then it gets done.

 

[CΛL]

Apart from credible French sources saying it.

I’m sure we have targeted him, but it’s fairly obvious that was contingent on Ederson leaving, which we didn’t think would happen, so we pivoted to Trafford.

There is nothing you can say, outside of the club or Trafford saying it’s the case, that will lead me to believe Trafford would have signed had he knew we were going to sign Donnaruma.

would appear the swamp is not his preferred destination anyway

 

[Gumzy97]

Have any English media this window broke a story about Transfers to us. Its mostly been Fabrizio.

I would love ederson to stay ancoats but he’s considerably older and may fancy a move away like he was supposedly interested in Saudi last year

Don't think Ederson wants one, but reports this morning we want to keep Ederson this season gives us the chance for a good look at Trafford before deciding whether we want a new number 1 or a 2 next summer.

Age is not a problem with Ederson only 31

City need to give him a better pay rise and sign him up for another 3 years

 

[Gabriel]

Transfer window shuts this month, I take it to mean we don't want him leaving this window.

Possibly, but technically shuts next month after our first three games and then the International break. Just seems an unnecessarily strange thing to add.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

So this was total bollocks all along. Least was entertaining

 

[Gumzy97]

Truly don’t think that’s the case at all, and there’s nothing to suggest that is the case, we obviously moved away from Donnaruma and signed Trafford.

Why would we give him the number 1 shirt, if we knew with such certainty Donnaruma was coming?

He can’t have the 99 shirt here.

News broke in May from a reliable Journalists in France that we were interested in Donnarumma. Us as fans took that as him looking at getting a new contract. Now he's left PSG he's available market opportunity for us.

 

[KS55]

There is no row, hes out of contract next season, and didnt accept the new contract PSG offered. So PSG have now bought a replacement and want to cash in on him before he leaves for free.

It was reported that there was a shouting match between Enrique and Donna about the use of feet.

 

[blueparrot]

Possibly, but technically shuts next month after our first three games and then the International break. Just seems an unnecessarily strange thing to add.

1 st September it closes.

 

[Sibierskii]

Not so sure about that, the club generally don't use their preferential media to deny rumours and then about-face later in the day

That tweet from Jack reads to me as a message from the club “send us an offer”

 

[Giovinco]

I’m not too sure mate, there were times last year when to me ederson looked like he has lost motivation, that’s just interpretation though

 

[skillman]

So essentially...

We would prefer Ederson to stay - which is likely club-speak for give us more money.

Then when Ederson goes, we will move for Donnarumma. Who I think is ready and waiting.

If Ederson stays, because nobody offers us what we want (supposedly £13m), then we won't move for Donnarumma.

I suspect, based on the l'equipe report and a few people saying Pep has already spoken to him, that we expect Galatasary to sort themselves out and stump up soon hence the pre-sorting of this deal.

So it's all dependent on Galatasary cementing their interest in Ederson. As soon as that's done, and we're comfortable with the fee, then I think the Donnarumma move will happen quickly.
