However, Luis Enrique, the PSG coach, recently revealed that Donnarumma was one of the best goalkeepers in the world, but the team needed a different type of goalkeeper. This decision has sparked questions about Donnarumma's footwork, which has been a subject of debate for some time.

Despite the concerns, Donnarumma's statistics suggest that perception may be clouding the reality. His 90% successful keeper sweepings and 94.7% accurate passing in his own half are impressive. His height, 6ft 5in, may be a factor in his difficulties with low shots, but it shouldn't be used as a criticism.

Donnarumma's contract uncertainty may also have played a role in the decision. He was reportedly seeking a 50% increase in his salary, and it's possible that the club considered this when deciding not to renew his contract.

Manchester City has agreed terms with Donnarumma, but his move is dependent on the departure of Ederson, who is also in the final year of his contract. Ederson's save percentage is slightly above Donnarumma's, but the Italian goalkeeper has a higher success rate from outside the box.

The situation is further complicated by the fact that Galatasaray is interested in signing Ederson, which may prompt Pep Guardiola to consider easing him out of the team. If Ederson digs his heels in, it's possible that Manchester City will miss out on Donnarumma, who is a talented goalkeeper worthy of a top-level club.
