Manchester City: Transfer Delays Explained…
Manchester City was supposed to have wrapped up the signing of superstar goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma before the clock struck 7pm. However, like a magician’s rabbit in a hat that insists on staying hidden, the news remains unannounced! Donnarumma has reportedly passed his medical, with City and Paris St-Germain shaking hands on a ÂŁ30million deal. Yet, the sky-blue fans are still holding their breath for the official confirmation, along with transfers involving Ederson and Manuel Akanji.
Ederson is in Istanbul, ready to join Fenerbahce and perhaps try some famous Turkish delights—he might even start his own Baklava shop! Meanwhile, Akanji has jetted off to Milan for a season-long loan with Inter. With the official deadlines resembling more of a guideline than a rule, clubs have a two-hour window—an extra time if you will—until 9pm to seal the deal with paperwork. Additionally, Ilkay Gundogan could still complete a move to Galatasaray thanks to Turkey’s September 12 deadline. Stay tuned folks, as Manchester City might soon transform into a high-speed roller coaster ride of confirmed deals!
