Ederson <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/kevin-de-bruyne-ederson-man-city-premier-league-al-ittihad-how-much-goalkeeper-cost/bltf251f570ac05acdb" target="_blank">has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia</a>, prompting City to explore high-profile alternatives. Pep Guardiola will be keen to ensure the Premier League champions are not left short between the sticks if their Brazilian shot-stopper does move on, and City have already zeroed in on Paris Saint-Germain's Donnarumma, according to GiveMeSport journalist <a href="https://x.com/JacobsBen/status/1815264261469577386" target="_blank">Ben Jacobs.</a>

WHAT HAPPENED?

The allure of the Premier League and the opportunity to work under Guardiola could be significant factors in Donnarumma's potential move to City. However, it must be noted that the Italian is content in Paris and even had early discussions about a contract extension before jetting off to Germany for the European championship, according to a report from <a href="https://sport.sky.it/calciomercato/2024/07/22/manchester-city-donnarumma-calciomercato-news" target="_blank">Sky Sports Italy.</a>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Since joining PSG, Donnarumma has experienced a blend of highs and lows. While he has won six trophies with the club and established himself as a key figure, his tenure has not been without challenges. Inconsistent performances, including a blunder against Real Madrid in the 2021-22 Champions League semi-finals and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/worst-goalkepeer-i-have-ever-seen-gianluigi-donnarumma-blasted-fans-after-psg-lose-to-barcelona-in-champions-league/blt402d4b5456284550" target="_blank">more recently against Barcelona</a>, raised questions about his role. Moreover, the recent acquisition of Matvey Safonov could create additional competition for the starting spot in the PSG net.

It has been reported that the Saudi Pro League outfit have decided to<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/al-ittihad-ederson-approach-man-city-reject-offer-for-goalkeeper-cristiano-ronaldo-s-al-nassr/bltdd52fcff07a4a175#cs93f609b23a42190d" target="_blank"> match City's valuation for the keeper</a> and are willing to fork out around £50 million ($65m/€60 million) for the Brazilian goalkeeper.
