The European summer transfer window has closed, delivering several high‑profile moves. Among the most notable is goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma’s transfer from Paris Saint‑Germain to Manchester City, finalized on deadline day for £26 million.
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes praised the signing, calling it the best deal of the summer window. He highlighted Donnarumma’s status as one of the world’s top goalkeepers, saying, “Donnarumma for £26m surely has to be the signing of the window,” and underscored the value Manchester City have secured.
The window also saw players such as Alexander Isak, Samuel Chukwueze, Victor Boniface and Jadon Sancho join new clubs, but Scholes believes Donnarumma’s move stands out as the most significant. The Italian goalkeeper, who previously starred for AC Milan and PSG, is expected to strengthen City’s goalkeeping department and give manager Pep Guardiola a world‑class option between the posts.
With the transfer period now over, clubs turn their attention to the upcoming season. Manchester City will look to build on recent successes, and Donnarumma’s arrival is seen as a key factor in their pursuit of silverware. As the new campaign begins, fans will be eager to see how the goalkeeper performs in his new role and whether he can help City achieve their goals.
