City, at this stage, appear to be closest to completing a deal for the experienced shotstopper, with reports suggesting that Pep Guardiola has already spoken to Donnarumma about a move to the Etihad Stadium.
Personal terms are not expected to be an issue, although City will not press ahead with a deal until they have first sold former first-choice keeper Ederson.

Last season’s first choice, Andre Onana, remains at the club, but the Cameroonian has been benched for the first two games of the season.
