Erling Haaland Welcomes Donnarumma to Manchester City

Manchester City strengthened their squad by signing Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma from PSG. Star striker Erling Haaland greeted him warmly on social media with a post. Donnarumma, PSG’s first-choice keeper since 2021, may debut on September 14 in the Premier League clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

When the summer transfer window closed, one of the biggest moves came from Manchester City as Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma joined Pep Guardiola’s side after several successful seasons at Paris Saint Germain. Donnarumma, who had been PSG’s first choice since 2021, is now set to take on a new challenge in the Premier League. His arrival is seen as a major boost to City’s goalkeeping and defensive strength.

Norwegian striker Erling Haaland extended a warm welcome to his new teammate through social media, posting a photo with Donnarumma and captioning it with “Welcome, Gigi!” The gesture quickly drew huge attention from fans and sparked excitement around the new signing. City supporters will not have to wait long to see Donnarumma in action. The goalkeeper is expected to feature in Manchester City’s next Premier League match on September 14 against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The high-profile derby provides the perfect stage for his debut in English football. With Guardiola looking to maintain City’s dominance domestically and in Europe, Donnarumma’s signing is considered timely and strategic. Combined with Haaland’s show of camaraderie, the move has lifted the atmosphere at the Etihad ahead of a demanding season.
