Gianluigi Donnarumma Unveiled as Manchester City’s New No. 25 Shirt

Gianluigi Donnarumma has officially chosen the No. 25 shirt at Manchester City, marking a fresh start in his Premier League journey.

The Italian goalkeeper, who joined City from Paris Saint-Germain on deadline day, signed a five-year deal with the reigning champions. His arrival adds even more depth to Pep Guardiola’s already star-studded squad.

The shirt number choice is a bit of a surprise for fans who’ve followed Donnarumma’s career. At AC Milan, he wore No. 99—a nod to his birth year—and later switched between No. 50 and No. 1 at PSG. But No. 25? That’s new territory for him. It was last worn by Manuel Akanji, who left on loan to Inter Milan just hours before Donnarumma’s signing was announced.

In his first interview with the club, Donnarumma called the move “a proud moment” and said he’s excited to work under Guardiola and compete in the Premier League. With his debut potentially coming in the upcoming Manchester derby, fans won’t have to wait long to see him in action—and in that new No. 25 shirt.
