Man City plot stunning move for PSG's Donnarumma if Ederson departs
By Ravi Kumar Jha Published on August 12, 2025, 19:16 IST Manchester City have reportedly initiated contact with Paris Saint-Germain to explore the conditions for a potential deal involving star goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The Premier League champions are said to be assessing their options between the posts as speculation over Ederson's future continues. Romano claims that PSG have placed a €50 million price tag on the Italian shot-stopper — a figure City consider too steep at this stage. The deal would only materialise if Ederson leaves the Etihad Stadium this summer. Donnarumma, 26, has been PSG's first-choice goalkeeper since arriving from AC Milan in 2021, but his future in Paris remains uncertain as the Ligue 1 giants look to reshape their squad. The towering keeper has been linked with moves to several European heavyweights in the past, but Chelsea are reportedly not in contention for his signature this time around. Should Ederson depart, Donnarumma's arrival could provide City with a long-term solution between the sticks, bringing his commanding presence, shot-stopping prowess, and big-game experience to the Premier League. The transfer saga is still in its early stages, but with the summer window approaching its final stretch, the coming days could be decisive. Fans are now eagerly waiting to see whether City's interest will turn into a concrete bid — or if Donnarumma will commit his future to PSG.

Five Ligue 1 wonderkids to watch this season 💎
The League of Talents. OneFootball presents the five gems to keep a close eye on for this new Ligue 1 season! Kendry Páez (18 years old - RC Strasbourg) Loaned by Chelsea to Strasbourg, the young Ecuadorian is announced as the future crack of South American football. Already the second youngest scorer in the history of the Copa America, the left-hander hopes to continue his progress in Alsace. With his smooth dribbles and beautiful ball striking quality, Kendry Paez should set L1 ablaze. 📸 Logan Riely - 2024 Getty Images Khalis Merah (18 years old - OL) While Lyon is facing a period of austerity for the upcoming season, the seven-time French champion will have to make do with the young players from the training center. Luckily, a talent is about to emerge! Full of talent and author of a good quality preparation, Khalis Merah, a young midfielder, seems to have made a place for himself in the Lyon group. Paulo Fonseca has even described him as "a player of the future". Interesting... Darryl Bakola (17 years old - OM) After playing a handful of minutes with the pros last season, Darryl Bakola could take advantage of OM's busy schedule to enter the rotation in the championship a bit more. Launched several times during the pre-season by Roberto De Zerbi, the young Olympian has shown good things with the ball at his feet, but also in his ability to project himself. In Roberto De Zerbi's demanding football, will Bakola be able to make a place for himself? Brian Madjo (16 years old - Metz) Born in 2009, Brian Madjo could, this season, be the youngest starting number 9 in Ligue 1! A Luxembourg international, Madjo signed his first professional contract with FC Metz at the beginning of the summer. A first step that should quickly be followed by another: that of his first minutes in L1. While Idrissa Gueye, the Senegalese striker of FC Metz, is announced to be leaving for the Premier League, the Luxembourgish prodigy could find himself as the number 1 striker of the promoted team or number 2 if the board decides to recruit a center-forward. One thing is certain: L1 will discover Madjo this season! Ibrahim Mbaye (17 years old - PSG) Being a winger at PSG means having to deal with the competition from Désiré Doué, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Bradley Barcola. Getting playing time is no easy task, but Ibrahim Mbaye can count on a coach who likes to play young players. Percussive and able to destabilize the block with his dribbling, the young Titi could well take advantage of a start to the season where some key players will need to rest after an exhausting 2024-25 season. 📸 ALEX MARTIN - AFP or licensors This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

PSG complete the signing of Ukrainian centre-back Illia Zabarnyi
Paris Saint-Germain have officially announced the much-anticipated signing of Bournemouth centre-back Illia Zabarnyi. The Ligue 1 champions struck an agreement for the Ukrainian centre-back after lengthy negotiations with Bournemouth. The transfer will reportedly cost €66 million, including bonuses, and Zabarnyi has penned a five-year contract until 2030 with PSG. Zabarnyi is PSG's second major acquisition of the summer following the recent arrival of goalkeeper Luca Chevalier from Lille. The 22-year-old has been catapulted to prominence following a stellar 2024/25 Premier League season. He formed an iconic partnership with Dean Huijsen at the heart of the defence and helped the Cherries punch above their weight. With Zabarnyi's addition, PSG have continued their renewed transfer policy of investing in the standout young talents. The strategy helped Les Parisiens build a formidable squad and clinch their first-ever Champions League title last season under manager Luis Enrique. Zabarnyi has been earmarked as the future of PSG's backline, but it remains to be seen whether he can eclipse Willian Pacho and Marquinhos in the starting XI. The Ukrainian is comfortable with the ball at his feet and is a physical phenomenon. His taller frame helps him dominate aerial and ground duels. He is expected to be available for Wednesday's UEFA Super Cup clash against Tottenham Hotspur. The former Cherries star's arrival could push Luca Beraldo down the pecking order, but Enrique considers the Brazilian in his plans and does not want to sell him. Meanwhile, Gianluigi Donnarumma is edging closer towards exit after being excluded from the Super Cup squad. The Italian keeper has been in a contract standoff with PSG, which has deepened his fallout with the French club. Les Parisiens are pushing to sell Donnarumma to avoid him losing for free when his contract expires next summer. Enrique has assured Chevalier that he will be PSG's new No.1 heading into the new season.
