Gianluigi Donnarumma is one of the best goalkeepers, but he would have difficulty playing in the Premier League.
This is the view of European football experts Andy Brassell, who is of interest to Manchester City this summer.

Talksport understands that City will take a step for the Paris Saint Germain Star if your long-term No. 1 Ederson is going for Galatasaray.
Donnarumma published an emotional statement that PSG fans had said goodbye to after she missed her Super Cup victory against Tottenham.
His contract will take place next summer and he could leave Paris in 2026 free of charge without having a step this summer.
Manchester United and Chelsea were also associated with him, but Brassell warned her and City that he may not be a clever signing.
“I think the stylistic side is really important,” he said about Transuropa Express. “We know that he is as good as it comes to his line.
“But the link with Manchester City is really interesting, because of course it was brought up a lot this week that Donnarumma is not great with its feet.
“We saw this first-hand in Great Britain. When we return to this game at the beginning of the Luis Enrique period, where they were absolutely beaten in St. James’ Park.
“By the way, Newcastle to Donnarumma was a large part of it and the atmosphere in St. James’ Park that evening.
“If I were Pep Guardiola, I wouldn’t want him. If I were Galatasaray, who play with a very, very high defensive line, I wouldn’t want it.
“In fact, it is very, very difficult to say, admirable and excellent how it is, where does it fit?”

“I think he would fit more for United than he fits in the city,” he added later.
“But I think you look at the structure of Donnarumma and think: ‘He is a guy who could deal with antennas in the Premier League.’ But when does he come from his line and want the ball?
“I really mean, I think this is a bit of a block to really be really successful in the Premier League. Look he is still relatively young, he has enormous experience and sometimes I think that he can think that he is older than him.
“I don’t think we should say that he is not intelligent enough to develop and learn because I am sure that he is. Maybe he can change the way he keeps goals.
“But I dare to say whether he arrives in the Premier League before they even come to immersion, whether he is a success or not.
“Where, of course, because he is such a big name and because it is paid for so much money, he will have absolutely immense pressure.”
