Indisputable holder since his arrival in the French capital, Gianluigi Donnarumma (25 years old) is experiencing a much more chaotic start to the 2024-2025 financial year.

In Italy, we are worried, whatever it may be, for the captain of the Nazionale. This Thursday, the Corriere dello Sport evoked, in this respect, the affront of Luis Enrique towards his goalkeeper and this broken confidence which could push Gianluigi Donnarumma to leave next summer…
