Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain as Ederson ends his eight-year stint at the club with a move to Fenerbahce.<\/p>\n
Donnarumma has signed for an undisclosed fee, understood to be in the region of \u20ac35m (\u00a330.4m), committing himself to a five-year contract. The Italy international will wear the No 99 shirt at City.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo have signed for Manchester City is such a special and proud moment for me,\u201d said Donnarumma, who was a key part of the PSG team that won the Champions League last season. \u201c I am joining a squad packed with world-class talent and a team led by one of the greatest managers in the history of football in Pep Guardiola. This is a club every player in world football would love to join.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlaying at the Etihad Stadium will be very, very special for me. I am very excited for what lies ahead and can promise that I will give absolutely everything to try and help the club achieve even more success.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ederson hailed an \u201camazing\u201d eight years after completing a move to Turkey. The 32-year-old helped City claim 18 major honours, including six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups and a Champions League. The Brazilian also won the Golden Glove award three times.<\/p>\n

\u201cI leave incredibly proud of what we have achieved together, and I am honoured to have worn the shirt so many times,\u201d said the Brazilian. \u201cUnder Pep we have dominated the Premier League and conquered Europe. It has been amazing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI arrived in Manchester eight years ago full of hope, but I could not have predicted such a beautiful time together. Playing for City has been the most special time of my life and I will always be a fan of this special club.\u201d<\/p>\n
