The European summer transfer window officially closed on Monday night, and as always, it left football fans buzzing with excitement. Big names like Alexander Isak, Samuel Chukwueze, Victor Boniface, and Jadon Sancho all sealed moves during the window. But for Manchester United legend Paul Scholes, one transfer stood above the rest.
According to Scholes, Manchester City’s acquisition of Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain is by far the most impressive signing of the summer. The Italian goalkeeper joined Pep Guardiola’s side on deadline day for a reported £26 million, a deal many see as a bargain given Donnarumma’s reputation as one of the best goalkeepers in world football.
Scholes expressed his admiration for the move, saying:
“Donnarumma for £26m surely has to be signing of the window… obviously apart from the 14 Salford City have signed.”
With City strengthening their already star-studded squad, the addition of Donnarumma could prove to be a decisive factor in their hunt for more domestic and European glory.
As fans reflect on the summer transfer window, Scholes’ comments have fueled debate: Was Donnarumma truly the steal of the season? Or will other transfers make a bigger impact as the campaign unfolds?
