A move to Manchester City was a dream come true.
Gianluigi Donnarumma’s exit—and the way Luis Enrique said goodbye—surprised many. The Italian goalkeeper has now shared his perspective on the situation.
Details: The new Manchester City goalkeeper expressed his appreciation for the Spanish coach’s honesty. He also felt supported by his teammates, which helped him see that his time in Paris had value. Moving to Manchester City has always been a goal for him, especially with Pep Guardiola eager to sign him.
Quote: “I’ve always had a good relationship with Enrique. I valued his directness and honesty. I know it’s a coach’s choice to make their own decisions. The backing from my teammates showed me what I contributed to PSG, and that’s what truly matters.
The last few days were challenging, but I kept training hard. I was excited to join Man City because they really wanted me, and Guardiola was especially keen to have me. I’m very proud to be part of a club like City. I’m genuinely happy.
I asked the PSG president to let me leave because I saw it as a significant opportunity. I’m completely at peace: if a club like Man City wants you, it means you’ve done something right. Being wanted by a coach like Guardiola is an indescribable feeling,” Donnarumma said while with the Italy national team.
