Gianluigi Donnarumma has actually disclosed that Manchester City were the “just option” he considered this summertime, saying he already really feels fully at home at the Etihad Arena.
The Italian goalkeeper secured a ₤ 26 m deadline-day transfer after being informed by Paris Saint-Germain trainer Luis Enrique that he was no longer component of the club’s plans– in spite of raising three prizes with PSG last period, including the Champions League.
“I was really clear, my wish was to come here,” claimed Donnarumma. “That was my only alternative, the only thing I wanted.
“My only selection was to find here … so I enjoy to be below at City and be part of this amazing team.
“Prior to the summer season I understood that City were very interested in me, the connection enhanced after the Club Globe Cup.
“I understood the train was promoting my arrival here, every person wanted me below, it gave me such satisfaction to see such a demonstration of affection. I didn’t hesitate to find right here with wonderful pleasure and enthusiasm.”
The 26 -year-old made an instant impact on his Premier League launching, maintaining a clean sheet in City’s 3 -0 derby victory over Manchester United.
He was comfortably welcomed by Erling Haaland and others after producing a brilliant quit to refute Bryan Mbeumo.
Reflecting on his bond with his brand-new team-mates, Donnarumma included: “In addition to a fantastic gamer, one of the best worldwide, if not the best worldwide, [Haaland] is a great individual too and that is what makes him also better in a way.
“I have obtained an incredible partnership with him, he immediately invited me. It seems like I have actually been right here for several years, the means they invited me.
“The behaviour of a team has to be that, it needs to resemble a household and when a team-mate conserves a goal, you need to all celebrate as if it was an objective scored by a team.
“That is essential for me, we have to all be joined. It was a significant thing, the outcome against United to go higher and higher.”
