On February 7, on the sidelines of his victory against AS Monaco at the Parc des Princes (4-1), Paris Saint-Germain formalized the extension of the contract of three of his players (Achraf Hakimi, Vitinha, Nuno Mendes) and his coach Luis Enrique.
Gianluigi Donnarumma, whose lease expires at the end of June 2026, was not part of this list. And for good reason, the leaders of the capital's club seem very cautious about the case of the Italian goalkeeper. Indeed, since his arrival in the summer of 2021, the 26 -year -old has never managed to be unanimous.
Donnarumma, the Champions League as a glass ceiling
However, his domestic services are generally satisfactory. Last season, the latter had also been elected best Ligue 1 goalkeeper for the second time in his career, on the occasion of the UNFP trophies ceremony. But some of his hazardous performances in the Champions League have somewhat blacked the painting, as Jérôme Rothen reminds us.
“For three seasons, when we have been waiting to go for the champions league, PSG does not succeed because it is very average in these matches”said the sports consultant on RMC. In an interview with the Italian site Chiamarsi BomberDonnarumma's agent confirmed his player's desire to extend his contract with the Red and Blue.
