Player of the Tournament at the just concluded Euro 2020 Gianluigi Donnarumma has joined Paris Saint-Germain on a five-year deal.

“Paris Saint-Germain is delighted to announce that Gianluigi Donnarumma has joined the club. The Italian goalkeeper has signed a five-year contract until 30 June 2026,” the club stated.

“The 22-year-old Italy international joins Paris Saint-Germain from AC Milan, where he started out in 2013. Early in his career the Italian goalkeeper made a name for himself with Italy’s U17s at the 2015 UEFA European Under-17 Championship and was voted player of the tournament.

“His performances opened the doors to Milan’s first team in the 2015/2016 season. During his six seasons with the Rossoneri, the Naples-born shotstopper made 215 Serie A appearances along with 16 Europa League matches and 12 Italian Cup matches (including the 2016 and 2018 finals).

“A precocious talent, Gianluigi Donnarumma made his first team debut for the Azzurri at the age of 17 against France. A recent UEFA Euro 2020 winner with Italy, the goalkeeper shone in the penalty shoot-out against Spain in the semi-final and England in the final and was voted UEFA’s Euro 2020 player of the tournament.”

Speaking on his move, Donnarumma said: “I am delighted to be part of this huge club. I feel ready to take on this new challenge and continue to grow here. With Paris, I want to win as much as possible and to bring joy to the supporters.”

Oh cool!

This forthcoming season go hot no be small

Is this the best goal keeper in the world now?


What's your take...

PSG has signed:
Ramos
Hakimi
Wijnaldum
Pereira
Donnarumma

And they have Mbappe, Neymar, Di Maria, Marquinhos if they don't win the UCL next season, they should be banned from football.

Like For Real.

Who ever is holding the bank account of PSG is high on some good wine.

I still think football players need to get judged on their adaptation to the modern game. Best keeper to me in the World should be a goalkeeper who combines his feet and saves with his hands.

I still think Ederson remains the best goalkeeper in the World, although highly underrated.

Either way, Mancini did a good work with his possessive football and Donnarumma was a big part of it. His footwork was also good but I rate Ederson the best all round.

Either way, Donnarumma is definitely among the very best goalkeepers in the World. Frightening he is just 22 years.

Last time I checked here is the table toppers

1.Jan Oblak (Atletico Madrid)

2.Ederson (Manchester City)

3.Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich)

4. Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid)


It almost seems funny to recall that Thibault Courtois looked a little out of his depth after joining Real Madrid in 2019. The Belgian got over his bumpy start and has reaffirmed his status as one of the most feared stoppers in world football, helping the side to La Liga glory last season and playing a big role in this year's title charge.

The Belgian boasts the second-best save percentage in La Liga, stopping 76.6% of the attempts he’s faced, and conceded just 24 goals in 34 matches, the third best in the division. Like the aforementioned Mendy, Courtois was sensational in the second-leg of the Champions League semi-final between Madrid and Chelsea. Without the four or five incredible saves, the game would have been dead and buried by half time. Those are the moments that set the vert best goalkeepers apart and Courtois proved he belongs to that group. At just 28, he is only just hitting him prime as a goalkeeper and may actually be improving too.

He will be hoping to inspire Belgium to glory at Euro 2020 this summer.

3. Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich)

It wasn’t long ago that people were talking about Manuel Neuer in the past tense. A player who finished third in the 2014 Ballon d’Or voting began to struggle towards the end of the decade with recurring foot injuries. Things took their toll on the Bayern and Germany captain, leading to repeated calls for Neuer to be replaced in the national team by Marc Andre ter Stegen.

But all of those doubts and concerns were banished last season, as Neuer - back to his confident best - inspired Bayern to a treble. Neuer boasts the fifth highest save percentage in the German top flight and the highest pass completion, proving he is a real asset to Bayern's attacking play as well as a fine stopper.

On his day, there is still nobody better than Manuel Neuer.

2. Ederson (Manchester City)

In an age where goalkeepers are required to participate in build-up play, few no.1s can rival Manchester City’s Brazilian goalkeeper. Whether knocking it first time to Fernandinho between two on-rushing attackers or pinging it 60-yards onto Raheem Sterling’s big toe, Ederson is adept at getting City on the front foot, whatever the scenario.

He's massively improved from a defensive standpoint this season too. Whereas he boasted only the 12th best save percentage last campaign, that's up to third this term. The 27-year-old also has the most clean sheets in the Premier League so far this season, with 18.

1. Jan Oblak (Atletico Madrid)

Best goalkeepers

(Image credit: PA Images)
Jan Oblak remains the benchmark for goalkeeping excellence. The Slovenian has conceded the lowest number of goals in La Liga this season as Atletico Madrid have led the way for the majority of the campaign.

The Slovenian also boasts the best save percentage in the league, with a ridiculous 84.2% of attempts pushed away from danger. His whopping 75% penalty save ratio (from four attempts) is also evidence of the aura he now carries - strikers quake in their boots when they come face to face with the 6ft2 custodian.

He is great on the ball, good in the area, positionally excellent, strong and a great communicator. Nobody else even comes close.

What's your take...

nope, he is d best on form n his advantage is dt he gat so many years to prove himself..
d likes of neur, oblack, stergen, ederson, courtoise still have an edge over dona because they have been at d top for years n showed different levels of class..
dona I a new kid in d game n needs time to prove himself, don't mistake form with class abeg
