Hart not worried about Donnarumma at Man City: ‘Guardiola is ruthless now’

PSG had signed Lucas Chevalier, pushing Donnarumma out of the team with just a year left in his contract in the French capital.

It is believed that PSG’s concern over Donnarumma’s ability with the ball and stalling talks over a new deal led to the French club’s decision to part ways with Gigio.

However, Hart, a former Torino and Manchester City goalkeeper, sees no issue with Donnarumma’s distribution ability.

“I have watched him play under pressure and I have watched him play all the way through from 16 years old,” Hart told the BBC.

“There was a boy there who could hold his nerve for Milan and then he went to Paris St-Germain and helped them win trophies.

“I am a big James Trafford fan too, but why would you not sign someone like Donnarumma who can win you games?

Hart: Ruthless Guardiola wants ‘world-class’ goalkeeper

“He is absolutely humongous and makes top saves at the top level. Pep Guardiola is ruthless now, he wants someone who he knows is world-class.

“Trafford has potential, and I think they will nurse that, but he might not get what he wanted out of this season. I still think he can have a Manchester City career, for sure.

“I watched PSG last year and I didn’t think that they had to play long because Donnarumma was in goal. They played through the system without a problem and they hardly got caught out by anyone.”

Donnarumma has signed a five-year contract at Manchester City. Football Italia understands that the Azzurri captain will earn €15m in his first year at the Etihad Stadium.
