Pep Guardiola’s side are exploring a move for the unsettled Italy international with Ederson potentially set to join Galatasaray.

City have expressed an interest in Donnarumma and are ready to rival Man United for his signature.

United have been heavily linked with the 26-year-old, amid doubts around the long-term future of current number one Andre Onana.

Man City will have to pay Donnarumma over £400,000 per week in order to satisfy his wage demands and convince him to make the switch to the Etihad.

The Italian only has a year left on his contract and is surplus to requirements in the French capital, but PSG are still demanding a big fee.

If City do complete a deal to sign Donnarumma, it will be their second goalkeeper addition of the window, after bringing in James Trafford.

Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest are reportedly pushing to sign James McAtee and are now “close” to reaching an agreement after Man City dropped his asking price.

That is according to former Man United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown, who claims that the two clubs are edging towards a compromise on his valuation.

McAtee, 22, has been subject to interest from a number of clubs this summer but Forest now look set to pip Premier League and Bundesliga rivals to his signature.

Football Insider revealed on 3 August that Man City want £35million to sell McAtee amid growing interest in his signature at this stage of the window.
