Manchester City agree terms with new keeper after Trafford error against Tottenham
Manchester City have reportedly finalized personal terms with Gianluigi Donnarumma and are in talks with Paris Saint-Germain to settle on a transfer fee.
The Italian goalkeeper, who announced his departure from PSG weeks after their first-ever Champions League triumph, was willing to reduce his wages to stay, but PSG manager Luis Enrique replaced him with Lucas Chevalier.

According to Fabrizio Romano, City’s deal with Donnarumma is now set in stone but they must settle on an agreeable fee with PSG, who were initialy demanding €50m, but are now expected to accept less.
The move also hinges on Ederson’s potential exit, with Galatasaray keen on offering the Brazilian a new home in Turkey.
City are now desperate for a safe pair of hands between the sticks after the shaky performance from James Trafford in the 2-0 defeat to Tottenhem.
After a clean sheet in his debut against Wolves, Trafford was hugely underwhelming at home to Spurs, raising questions about his long-term suitability as the club's first-choice.
Should Ederson leave, as is anticipated, Donnarumma will become first-choice between the sticks.
