Manchester City confirmed the signing of Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday after selling the long-serving Ederson to Fenerbahce. Donnarumma, 26, has penned a five-year deal at the Etihad for a reported fee of £26 million (Rs 306.88 crore). 

Donnarumma, who will wear the 99 shirt, was an integral part of the PSG team that won the Champions League last season, and was in goal for Italy when they won Euro 2020. But his omission from PSG’s Super Cup squad changed things. “To have signed for Manchester City is such a special and proud moment for me,” said Donnarumma, whose signing was announced a day after the summer transfer window closed. “I’m joining a squad packed with world-class talent and a team led by one of the greatest managers in the history of football, Pep Guardiola. This is a club every player would love to join.”

Hincapie to Arsenal

Arsenal signed Ecuador defender Piero Hincapie on a season-long loan from Bayer Leverkusen. Hincapie can make a permanent move to Arsenal for £45 million (R531.16 crore) at the end of the current campaign. The 23-year-old made more than 100 appearances for Leverkusen after joining in 2021 and played a key role in their Bundesliga title victory in 2023-24.
