Recall that Manchester City signed the former PSG goalkeeper before the transfer window closed.

Speaking on The Obi One Podcast, Mikel stated that the Italian goalkeeper would have been a perfect goalkeeper for the Blues.

“I have said it so many times. We should have in the transfer window brought in a top goalkeeper. We have seen what Donnarumma is doing now at Manchester City, he was the goalkeeper that was out there.

“I know there has been a lot of talk about the wage structure, but you can find a way around that.He’s a top goalkeeper, 26 years of age, you could have found a way around that he fits into the wage structure.

“It’s going to be incredibly hard for us to win the Premier League with the goalkeeper that we have right now.”
