One-year contract, 45 million euros, Manchester City was forced to win one goal at a high price, Paris secretly happy

According to well-known transfer expert Romano, Paris Saint-Germain's Italian goalkeeper Donaluma has reached an agreement with Premier League giant Manchester City on personal terms; at the same time, negotiations between Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain on a transfer contract are also expected to be finalized within a few days. The asking price for this transfer will be slightly lower than the €50 million originally set by Paris, about €45 million. The core reason why both sides can quickly advance the agreement is that Manchester City is extremely dissatisfied with the current team's goalkeeper configuration, so they made major concessions in terms of player contract details and transfer amount, which prompted the transaction to be implemented quickly.

Donarumma, 26, was born in 1999 and made his debut for Serie A giant AC Milan at the age of 16. Since then, with outstanding talent, he has quickly grown into a goalkeeper ranked among the top goal line in football at that time. In recent seasons, due to the fact that top goalkeepers such as Courtois, Oblak, and Alisson have significantly declined due to their age. In the ranking of goalkeepers in the world-renowned media, Donnarumma frequently ranks first, which can be called the "world's first goal".

However, this "No. 1 goalkeeper in the world" is a little "unliked" at Paris Saint-Germain. The cause is that when Donnarumma joined Paris from AC Milan, it was in the form of a free transfer (visa-free), so his salary and bonus treatment were extremely high, with a total salary cost of more than 20 million euros per year. But for Paris, which is supported by Qatar oil capital, "money" is not the core issue. The real contradiction between Paris and Donnarumma is actually in the coach Enrique. When Enrique first joined Paris two years ago, he advocated Barcelona's pass-by and control football system, and was quite dissatisfied with Donnarumma's ability to play. But at that time, Enrique was just a first-time arrival and did not have the right to adjust the core players at will, so Paris temporarily put aside the renewal of the contract with Donarumma. It was not until last season that Enrique led Paris to win the four championships (including the first Champions League trophy in team history) that the Paris management completely stood on the coach's position and began to find a replacement for Donnarumma.

Cometimes, Manchester City is also facing a goalkeeper crisis this season: the team's main goalkeeper Ederson clearly expressed his willingness to transfer, and the young goalkeeper Trafford introduced during the winter break is obviously unable to adapt to the intensity and pressure of the game at the giants level because he only has the experience of substituting the Champions League. Because of this, Manchester City is eager to find a top goalkeeper to fill the gap, which coincides with Paris's need to "clean up Donnarumma". The two "rich" clubs that are not short of funds quickly finalized the "Shiyimen" deal.

For Paris Saint-Germain, even if Donnarumma is lost, the team has already had plans. Last season, they introduced 26-year-old Russian goalkeeper Safonov as a substitute for Donaruma, who has made 17 appearances for Paris in the 24-25 season and is a reliable backup.

This season, Paris signed the French goalkeeper Schevarier from Lille for 45 million euros. The 23-year-old goalkeeper has played for Lille for three seasons as a starter - Lille has always ranked first in the Ligue 1 goals conceded in the past three seasons, which is inseparable from Shevalier's stable performance.

Since the start of the new season, Donnarumma has never played for Paris after entering the transfer list; the goalkeeper position in Paris's first three games is Schwarier. In the eyes of coach Enrique, Shevalier not only has first-class goal line skills, but also has a far better than Donarumma in his ability to play.

Some football professionals analyzed that for Manchester City, Donnarumma's "weak ability to play" has obvious differences with coach Guardiola's tactical concept of "goalkeepers participate in passing and control", so Donnarumma may be just a temporary candidate for Manchester City to deal with the current goalkeeper crisis.

It seems that even with the title of "World One Sect", in front of wealthy clubs with strong financial resources, players may just be "temporary transitional items" in the team's lineup adjustment.
