Change of chromos in the goal of Manchester City: the English club announced on Tuesday the march of the Brazilian Ederson (32 years) AL FENERBAHÇE Turco —club in which the Colombian militates Jhon Durán– And shortly after confirmed the arrival of Italian Gianluigi Donnarumma (26 years), which was key in the title of Champions won by the Paris Sg Last season.
With this movement, coach Pep Guardiola seems seek greater defensive solidity In a team that follows the bad dynamics of last season and has already lost two games of the three he has played in the Premier League.
The Catalan coach, in addition, had lost confidence in Ederson And in these first three championship games he had played James Trafford, also signed this summer.
According to several media, The English club paid 35 million euros to the PSG by the goalkeeper who was key in the conquest of the last champions league and would have entered somewhat less than half 14 million euros per Ederson.
The Brazilian closes a successful stage in Manchester City with 18 titles won since its arrival in 2017from Benfica, among which a Champions League (2023) and Six Premier Leagues (2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024) stand out.
18 titles like 'citizen'
“I am leaving Manchester City incredibly proud of what we have achieved together, and I feel honored to have dressed this shirt so many times”, He told the media of the Ederson club, who for now has not entered the plans of Carlo Ancelotti, a new Brazilian coach.
His destiny, Fenerbahçe, lives convulsive hours after staying eliminated in the previous champions Leaguewhich cost his coach, José Mourinho, and not having won the title in Türkiye since 2014.
Similar case is that of Donnarumma in the Paris SG: since he arrived at the PSG from AC Milan in the summer of 2021 he has accumulated successes (a Champions and Four Ligue 1) and Despite having been a key piece in the conquest of the European title, he has been the victim of a technical decision and of the fact that in a season it was free and for now he had not accepted the proposal of the club to renew.
Given the possible march as a free agent in a year of Donnarumma, the PSG covered his back with the incorporation of French Lucas Chevalier (23 years), chosen best goalkeeper of Ligue 1 last season with the Lille, which implicitly led the Italian to integrate the list of transferable.
Improve the game with the foot
“'Gigio' is one of the best players in his position, without any doubt. He is even better person, but We were looking for a different goalkeeper profile. My goal is to improve the team. It is my decision and the club supports me, ”said PSG coach Luis Enrique to justify“ the difficult decision ”to dispense with Italian, who was shown,”disappointed and sad”.
The unknown is to know how the Eurocup champion with Italy in 2021 will adapt in the style of Guardiola's game and English football.
The former coach of FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich recovers with Donnarumma A world TOP level goalkeeper with an enviable service sheetbut which has been recurrently criticized for its exits overlooking, and about its game with the foot, some of great importance in Luis Enrique's game system.
Premier League strikers, in addition, are usually powerful in the air game, and, like 'Lucho', Pep Guardiola appreciates the ball out of its archers, a quality that ederson had.
