Manchester City have been in regular contact with Donnarumma’s representatives since he was informed of his situation earlier this summer. Former Manchester United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown admitted he was surprised PSG would consider moving on from a goalkeeper who played a key role in their UEFA Champions League triumph.

“It’s been one of the biggest surprises of the summer,” Brown told Football Insider. “A team playing fantastic football always improving as a team, winning the Champi ons League, but they want to get rid of one of their key players.

“It’s not completely clear why, I think something must have happened that we don’t know about. He’s a top goalkeeper and it’s obviously no surprise that Man City are looking at him. They’re looking to part ways with Ederson and he would be the replacement.

“From what I hear, they’ve known that Donnarumma might become available since way back at the start of the transfer window, it’s not new. His agent and representatives have been in contact throughout the summer to make his position clear. From City’s point of view, they’ve been keeping tabs on it and working out a plan. I think now they’re preparing to step up their efforts to bring him in.”
