  "account": "Manchester City are reportedly pursuing a young French goalkeeper named Robin Risser, rated at £35 million, amid concerns about the performance of their current first-choice, Gianluigi Donnarumma. The 21-year-old Lens shotstopper was part of France's World Cup squad and was awarded the UNFP Goalkeeper of the Year for the 2025-26 season. Lens is demanding a fee of at least £35 million for the player, who is under contract until June 2030. Risser's strengths include a commanding aerial presence and composure on the ball, making him a suitable fit for Manchester City's style of play. However, a sell-on clause, set at 25% of the total fee, could significantly reduce the club's earnings from a potential sale. Other clubs, such as Liverpool, Manchester United, Inter Milan, Juventus, Newcastle United, and Tottenham, have also shown interest in the past, but no formal offers have been made as of yet.",
