Man City star makes his feelings clear on club signing Gianluigi Donnarumma as goalkeeper announces PSG departure
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has reacted to the news Gianluigi Donnarumma will be departing PSG this summer amid rumours linking him to The Etihad.
On Tuesday, PSG boss Luis Enrique confirmed that he was looking for a 'different type' of goalkeeper after axing the Italian for the club's Super Cup clash against Spurs.
The Spaniard told reporters: “Donnarumma is out of the squad as it’s my own decision, I am 100% responsible."
Donnarumma was key for the Parisians last season as they finally clinched their first Champions League trophy, and the shot stopper has since reacted to his shock omission.

The 26-year-old appeared to call out Enrique in a lengthy and passionate statement on Instagram on Wednesday evening.
He wrote: "Unfortunately, someone has decided that I can no longer be part of the group and contribute to the team’s success. I am disappointed and disheartened.
"I hope to have the opportunity to look the fans at the Parc des Princes in the eyes one more time and say goodbye as it should be done."
He added: "If that doesn’t happen, I want you to know that your support and affection mean the world to me, and I will never forget it."
Erling Haaland fuels Donnarumma fire
According to Fabrizio Romano, Man City have made contact over a potential deal for the departing shot stopper despite signing James Trafford, with PSG demanding €50m for his exit.
It has been claimed that the Premier League club will only make an offer for the goalkeeper if Ederson leaves this transfer window.
With City's interest hotting up, eagle eyed fans spotted Erling Haaland's reaction to Donnarumma's statement with the Norwegian liking the post.
Haaland and Donnarumma have never shared the dressing room and only come up against each other a handful of times adding fuel to the fire.
However, it is perfectly plausible the pair, who are a similar age, could be good friends off the field.
