Manchester City have taken a major step in the transfer market by reaching an agreement over personal terms with Gianluigi Donnarumma, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Italian goalkeeper, once hailed as the heir to Gianluigi Buffon, is now waiting on club-to-club talks between City and Paris Saint-Germain before the deal can progress.

News of this major development for Man City comes after Pep Guardiola cast doubt over the club’s current goalkeeper.

Manchester City have James Trafford and Ederson to call upon but remain linked with Gianluigi Donnarumma, who is no longer wanted by Paris Saint-Germain.
