It is a great club with a constant desire to win. I realize the magnitude of the responsibility, but I am proud to be here to help it achieve victory.”

He continued: “I want to make the fans proud of us, and for us to win more titles together. We are here at a historic club that deserves to always be at the top.”
He continued: “I am happy with the choice I made and proud to be here at Manchester City. I have been following this team and it has always impressed me.”
What did Donnarumma say about the atmosphere at Manchester City?
He added: “We don’t realize the true value of the club until you see it with your own eyes. Everything here is amazing; the buildings, training facilities, staff, and the atmosphere.”
He concluded: “I came with my family on the first day, and my feeling was that this club is like a family. Everyone here is smiling and happy, and I am excited to start this adventure.”
