Manchester Cityconfirmed the signing of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday for a reported fee of around 35 million ($41 million).

The 26-year-old Italian has penned a five-year deal, with Ederson heading to Fenerbahce after eight years at the club.

Donnarumma was part of thePSGteam that won theChampions Leaguelast season, and was in goal for Italy when they won Euro 2020.

But his omission from PSG's Super Cup squad made it clear he was no longer their first-choice goalkeeper.

"To have signed for Manchester City is such a special and proud moment for me," said Donnarumma.

"I am joining a squad packed with world-class talent and a team led by one of the greatest managers in the history of football inPep Guardiola. This is a club every player in world football would love to join."
