The Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper’s chances of moving to the Etihad have improved markedly this week, with Manchester United ready to stick with Andre Onana instead.
United appeared to be frontrunners for the 29-year-old’s signature, as they too have been in contact, but several sources admitted a deal is unlikely due to the Italian’s wage demands and age profile.

Sources claim City must sell Ederson before they can bring Donnarumma in.
They have received no bids as yet, with the Brazilian not agitating for the move currently.

No other suitors have presented themselves as yet.
