Manchester City have reportedly set their sights on Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, according to journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.
The Premier League giants are in the market for a new shot-stopper, with Ederson Moraes currently being courted by Saudi Pro League clubs.
Pep Guardiola is known to value goalkeepers with excellent distribution and composure under pressure, qualities Donnarumma has shown in abundance.
Donnarumma was a key figure for PSG en route to their first-ever Champions League trophy courtesy of Saturday’s 5-0 thrashing of Inter Milan.
However, the Italian cast some doubts over his long-term future at Parc des Princes with his comments post-match.
“Will I stay? I don’t know; we’ll see,” he said in an interview with Sky Sports (h/t Marca). “We’ve had an extraordinary season, and a lot of the credit goes to Luis Enrique.
“It was a difficult year – at one point we were out because we were losing 2-0 against City. However, we managed to turn the score around and had an extraordinary season.
“Now comes the national team. We have two important matches before the World Cup, and we need to be focused.”
Amid the uncertainty surrounding his PSG future, Donnarumma is reportedly still in contract talks with his current employers as he enters into the final 12 months of his existing deal.
Having now won every trophy available in Paris, Donnarumma could be open to leaving, and Man City would be thrilled to sign him.
While no formal bid has been submitted yet, City will continue to monitor how things develop over the next couple of weeks.
They have also been linked with a move for Porto’s Diogo Costa as their search for goalkeeping reinforcement continues.
