[Saba Sports News] According to the latest reports from English media, Gianluigi Donnarumma has signed a five-year agreement with Premier League club Manchester City. The contract is reportedly worth a staggering €78 million after taxes, making it the most lucrative deal of Donnarumma’s career and a significant raise from his €10 million annual salary at Paris Saint-Germain. This makes Donnarumma the world’s highest-paid goalkeeper. Donnarumma rose to fame at a young age and boasts extensive match experience, having delivered outstanding performances for both AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain. Notably, during the 2020 European Championship final, his heroic efforts in the penalty shootout helped Italy secure the title, earning him the tournament’s Best Player award. Last season at Paris Saint-Germain, he achieved a save success rate of 72%, averaging 3.1 saves per match, keeping 11 clean sheets, and maintaining an 85% pass accuracy. These statistics demonstrate his caliber as a top-tier goalkeeper, justifying his high salary as recognition of his individual ability and past achievements.
