PSG have reportedly lowered their expected fee for Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma amid interest from Manchester City.
Donnarumma, 26, has been linked with the Citizens, who are looking to bring in another shot-stopper should Ederson leave the club.
According to RMC Sport, the current Champions League holders have lowered their price from £43million to between £26m and £30m given Donnarumma only has one year remaining on his contract in the French capital.
That has seen Luis Enrique jettison a key member of his Champions League-winning squad, replacing him with Lucas Chevalier.
Fabrizio Romano has also reported that personal terms have been agreed between Donnarumma and City as a potential deal appears to be inching closer.
Donnarumma’s potential arrival would have to be countenanced by the sale of Guardiola’s long-time number one goalkeeper Ederson.

Daily Mail Sport revealed on Sunday that Galatasaray are expected to renew contact with City for goalkeeper Ederson after he was left on the bench for Saturday’s defeat by Tottenham.
Ederson’s replacement James Trafford was guilty of an error which led to Spurs’ second on an uncomfortable home debut for the England international.
Guardiola has spoken consistently about his goalkeepers needing to be brave on the ball but stopped short of saying whether Trafford would remain first choice.
‘Trafford made a good first game,’ Guardiola said of the 22-year-old goalkeeper, who kept a clean sheet in a 4-0 win at Wolves on the opening weekend.
‘I decide [for him] to continue. When I take decisions, normally in the first part of the season, not just for the keeper as the keeper is a special position, of course, to have more consistency in the goal.
But for all the players – when you play one or two games, and everybody thinks, “okay, this is the starting line-up, these are the players that are going to play”.
‘I learned for many years that with this amount of games, everybody will play.’
Ederson has one year left on contract and Galatasaray’s first offer was around £8.5m which is not considered enough.
They have since enquired about other options but returned to make an offer for City centre back Manuel Akanji which may yet be accepted and plan another offer for Ederson.
