Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson has completed a £12.1 million ($16m) move to Fenerbahce, making way for the Premier League club to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain.
ESPN reported on Monday that City are set to pay PSG £26m for Donnarumma, who will sign a five-year deal at the Etihad Stadium.
The deal was completed ahead of Monday's transfer deadline and is expected to be announced on Tuesday.
Donnarumma will fight for the No. 1 spot with 22-year-old James Trafford, who rejoined City from Burnley earlier in the summer. Trafford has started City's first three Premier League games, but was criticised for his role in their 2-0 defeat to Tottenham.

"Under Pep, we have won dominated the Premier League and conquered Europe. It has been amazing ... I arrived in Manchester eight years ago full of hope, but I could not have predicted such a beautiful time together," Éderson said in a statement.
"Playing for City has been the most special time of my life and I will always be a fan of this special club. I'm going with my wife and children, but I'm leaving a big family here, Cityzens. Once a Blue, always a Blue."
