On September 1st local time, Manchester City officially launched their September monthly magazine. In the magazine, Gianluigi Donnarumma gave an exclusive interview to the club, discussing his expectations for the new season and his life at Manchester City. He said he felt very grateful to Pep Guardiola for bringing him to Manchester City and believes Maresca can lead the team to further success.

After a great summer break, you're back fully fit. How has life been at Manchester City?

"Yes, I'm very happy. This summer was unusual because unfortunately we (Italy) didn't qualify for the World Cup, but I'm pleased to have a fresh start and I'm looking forward to a great season. I'm very confident because we're working hard for it."

You got married this summer and had your wedding in Locorotondo, Italy. Mancini, Mbappé, and Haaland all attended. What was that day like?

"Yes, I got married and I'm very happy. It was a beautiful ceremony, full of emotion. This was the final step because my fiancée and I have been together for many years now, so it's been a very happy time in my life."

In your first season at Manchester City, the team came just one step away from winning the domestic treble. Did this season go as you imagined when you first arrived in England?

"This is a complex and difficult league. I'm happy to play in the Premier League because it's a real test for me. Every match is challenging, which is why it's the best league in the world. This season will be difficult because every team will be ready, and we want to fight until the end and compete for the title."

Pep Guardiola left the team after last season, and now Enzo Maresca has taken over as head coach. He's the second Italian manager at Manchester City. What are your expectations for him?

"Yes, I'm very excited about Maresca. I must thank Pep Guardiola because he really wanted me to come here last season, and I'm truly proud to be part of this team. Receiving his confidence and guidance made everything even more meaningful to me."

"Now we have Maresca, who has already had great success at Manchester City. He knows the club and the environment here, and he can bring many good things to us. He's come well prepared, and we're ready to listen to everything he says."

"He's been very successful at every club he's managed. When he was at Chelsea, I lost to him 0-3 in the Club World Cup final when I was goalkeeper for Paris Saint-Germain. So I know exactly what to expect!"

"Under his leadership, we've made a good start. We just need to continue following his guidance and keep improving."

Milan and Paris are two of the most modern cities in the world, and for someone who has lived there for a while, it's difficult for other cities to compare. How do you, your wife Alessia, and your son Leo feel about life here now?

"Honestly, I'm doing very well. We've met many people, visited many restaurants, and made new friends, so we really feel at home. I'm having a great time in Manchester, especially at this club because it's wonderful—like a big family."
