Manchester City’s Gianluigi Donnarumma has been named the best Fifa men’s goalkeeper for 2025.

The Italy international, who joined City in the summer, has been recognised for an exceptional year in which he won the Champions League for the first time and three domestic trophies with former club Paris St-Germain.

The 26-year-old has established himself as a key member of Pep Guardiola’s side, who currently sit second in the Premier League and fourth in the Champions League.

The City number one saw off competition from Premier League goalkeepers including Alisson Becker, Emiliano Martinez and David Raya to claim the accolade.

Donnarumma said: “I feel extremely proud to have been named as the best in the world and ahead of such wonderful goalkeepers too, who I have great respect and admiration for.

“It was an incredible year, one that will live long in my memory and it’s touching to be recognised for my role in the success achieved over that period.

“I will truly appreciate this acknowledgement and look ahead now to achieving more success with my new club Manchester City.”
