Italy goalkeeper Donnarumma joins PSG

Gianluigi Donnarumma has joined Paris Saint Germain on a five-year deal after leaving Serie A club AC Milan on a free transfer, the French Ligue 1 side said on Wednesday.

Donnarumma, who was crowned Euro 2020 Player of the Tournament after Italy’s victory over England in the final, helped Milan finish second in Serie A last season to secure Champions League qualification for the first time since 2013-14.

During his six seasons in Serie A, the 22-year-old made 215 league appearances, while becoming the youngest goalkeeper in Italian national team history, at the age of 17 years and 189 days, during a game against France, in September 2016.

Earlier on Wednesday, Donnarumma posted an emotional Instagram message to Milan supporters.

PSG have been busy this summer in the transfer market, having already brought in veteran Spanish defender Sergio Ramos on a free transfer after he left Real Madrid, along with the capture of fullback Achraf Hakimi from Inter Milan.
