Manchester City’s last-minute signing of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma for £26 million from Paris St-Germain signals growing concerns for manager Pep Guardiola.
The move comes after the sale of longtime keeper Ederson and two consecutive defeats for City following their opening-day win.
While summer signing James Trafford started all three games, his mixed performances prompted Guardiola to seek an immediate solution.
Donnarumma, a Treble winner with PSG and a European champion with Italy, is renowned for his shot-stopping but lacks the ball-playing skills of the departed Ederson.
With a crucial Manchester derby approaching, Guardiola must now decide whether to start the new signing or stick with Trafford. This choice could very well define the course of City’s season.
