Donnarumma Don Finally Land Manchester City: Wetin Dey Sup?
Omo, e don happen o! Gianluigi Donnarumma, dat Italian goalkeeper wey be like wall for goalpost, don officially pack him bags from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) come join Manchester City.
Dis na one of di biggest transfer gist for dis 2025 summer, and e don shake football world like earthquake. Make we break am down for you in sweet pidgin, so you go sabi wetin dey play.
For those wey no know, Donnarumma na one of di baddest goalkeepers for dis planet. Dis 26-year-old bobo, wey tall like iroko tree (6ft 4in!), don win plenty things.
Him help Italy carry Euro 2020, and last season, him play big role as PSG grab Champions League trophy.
But, e shock everybody when PSG coach, Luis Enrique, talk say dem no need Donna again.
Why? Enrique talk say dem want goalkeeper with “different profile,” so dem go sign Lucas Chevalier from Lille for big money.
Donnarumma no like dat talk at all. Him drop emotional message for social media, talk say him feel “disappointed and disheartened” with PSG decision. But now, dat one na old gist, because him don land for Manchester City!
Manchester City bin dey eye Donna for long, and dem don finally sign am as replacement for Ederson, their former No. 1 keeper.
Ederson, wey don dey City since 2017, bin dey him last contract year, and clubs like Galatasaray and Fenerbahce bin dey chase am. True-true, Ederson don comot, and City no waste time to bring Donnarumma in.
Dem pay PSG around €30-35 million (like $41 million) for di transfer, wey be like small money for player like Donnarumma.
Reports talk say di deal don complete, medical don happen for Italy, and Donna don sign contract with City after di international break. E don set!
But, no be everybody dey clap for dis move o. Some people, like French journalist Julien Laurens, talk say Donnarumma no fit Pep Guardiola system.
Dem say him no too sabi play ball with him leg, and Pep, City oga, like goalkeeper wey fit pass like midfielder.
Laurens even talk say Gigi no dey handle crosses and set pieces well, wey fit be wahala for Premier League. But Pep no send anybody. Him believe say Donnarumma na one of di best, and him go polish am to fit City style.
Spanish football expert, Guillem Balague, sef back Pep up, talk say Donna na top-three goalkeeper for di world, and Pep go make am shine.
Manchester City goalkeeping department don dey rearrange. Dem bin sign James Trafford from Burnley for £27 million, and dem get Marcus Bettinelli as third choice. But Trafford don dey make some mistakes, like for di match wey Tottenham knack City 2-0.
Pep defend am, but e clear say Donnarumma na di main man now. With Stefan Ortega, their second-choice keeper, sef dey plan to comot, Donnarumma don land as di solid No. 1 wey City need.
Other clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea bin dey look Donnarumma side, but City move fast pass dem.
United dey stuck with Andre Onana, wey dem no fit sell, so dem no fit chase Donnarumma serious. Chelsea sef don settle with Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen.
Even Galatasaray, wey want Ederson, bin dey eye Donnarumma, but di bobo no gree go Turkey. Him choose City, di Premier League big boys, and now him don dey ready to shine.
As today na September 1, 2025, and transfer deadline don reach, Italy coach Gennaro Gattuso don confirm say Donnarumma don settle for City.
Dis move fit change Premier League, because Donnarumma na world-class keeper wey fit help City carry more trophies. Fans don dey talk say him go be di missing piece for Pep squad.
