‘I am delighted to be part of this huge club,’ said Donnarumma in a statement released by PSG.
‘I feel ready to take on this new challenge and continue to grow here.
‘With Paris, I want to win as much as possible and to bring joy to the supporters.’
During his six seasons with the Rossoneri, the Naples-born goalkeeper made 215 Serie A appearances along with 16 Europa League matches and 12 Italian Cup matches (including the 2016 and 2018 finals).
He is the third player to sign for PSG on a free transfer this summer following Spanish defender Sergio Ramos and Dutch midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum who were out of contract with Real Madrid and Liverpool respectively.
