The Quiet Guardian: How Donnarumma Boosted Manchester City

Overview

Gianluigi Donnarumma's agent Enzo Raiola has praised the Italian goalkeeper, noting that his arrival has visibly improved Manchester City's results this season. The move from Paris Saint-Germain cost €35 million and has coincided with better performances by City in the Premier League.

Transfer Details and Impact

Manchester City signed Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain in the recent summer market for €35 million. Raiola says the goalkeeper is happy at the Etihad and things are on track.

Since joining City, the team has shown stronger results and now contests Arsenal at the top of the table.

Raiola's Perspective and Haaland Connection

In an interview with Radio Sportiva, Raiola said: "It was a busy summer for Donnarumma, given Paris' desire to keep him; perhaps they will explain the reasons for their assessments someday, but today we enjoy a great performance at Manchester City."

He added: "When GiGi joined Manchester City, things improved in terms of results, and we now compete with Arsenal for the lead."

Regarding his relationship with Manchester City's star Erling Haaland, Raiola said: "From day one, we had a special bond, we work with the same agency, and after Mino Raiola's passing the relationship continued; Haaland is similar to GiGi in character, both exceptional, and that is the secret of our success."

There will be many matches in January; the first six months have gone well, and both he and the club are happy with the situation.

Punchline: If football had a Snapchat, Donnarumma would be the king of saves—always a clean block, never a blurry memory.

Punchline 2: City’s defense is so tight that even the whistle sounds like a standing ovation for a perfect save.
