PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN have reportedly slashed their asking price for Gianluigi Donnarumma after the goalie agreed personal terms with Manchester City.
Luis Enrique axed Donnarumma, 26, in a shock move just months after PSG’s Champions League victory.
The Italian is yet to find a buyer despite being widely regarded as one of world football’s top stoppers.
But City are the closest to striking a deal amid doubts over Ederson’s future.
The Brazilian is angling for a move to Galatasaray.
And City have covered their backs by agreeing personal terms with Donnarumma.
However, they had been reluctant to meet PSG’s asking price for their goalie, who is in the final year of his contract.
Enrique’s side initially quoted £46million for the ace.
But Fabrizio Romano claims they are now ready to accept as little as £26m.
It remains to be seen if a deal does go through though, with Donnarumma’s future hinging on the outcome of Ederson’s Turkish switch.
Manchester United and Chelsea were both linked with Donnarumma earlier in the window.
However, the latter are keeping faith with Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen, with highly-rated youngster Mike Penders also on loan at Strasbourg.
As for United, Ruben Amorim looks set to keep hold of both Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir while also adding Royal Antwerp’s Senne Lammes before deadline day.
Donnarumma joined PSG on a free transfer from AC Milan in 2021.
He played 251 games for his boyhood club after making his debut aged 16.
Donnarumma’s since featured 161 times for PSG, winning four Ligue 1 titles and last season’s Champions League in the process.
He also remains Italy’s No1 after making his debut in 2016 and has amassed 74 caps so far.
