Jack Gaughang, the Manchester City and team reporter of the Post, wrote an article today in response to the issues discussed by fans today around Manchester City, and talked about the reasons why Manchester City failed to introduce Donnarumma in the early years.

It is said that Manchester City was interested in Donnarumma when he was young - why couldn't this deal be brokered that year?

Reporter: In the final analysis, it is still a matter of money. AC Milan's price tag for the 18-year-old goalkeeper, who had already played for the world's top club for two full seasons, seemed outrageous at the time.

Although some fans may have doubts about this, the fact that Manchester City ultimately spent 35 million pounds for Ederson (the second-highest goalkeeper transfer fee at the time) is enough to prove how astonishing Milan's asking price was.
