“I don't know, I don't know, we'll see in the coming days. Now I'm going to join the Nazionale, we have two very important matches. I have to focus on these two games “. Here is what Gianluigi Donnarumma declared at the microphone of Sky Italiaa few minutes after the first coronation of Parisians in the Champions League. An exit relaunching the debate around the extension of the native of Castellammare di Stabia, while the latter has been discussed for months with the Parisian management to extend his lease. But then what about we write these lines?
A disagreement
Firstly and as indicated by the Italian press in recent days, the requests of the last transalpine bulwark to extend its contract are clearly known to the new European champions and the two parties wish, today, to continue the adventure together. “There are a lot of rumors, but the truth is that I am here. I feel appreciated by everyone here, the club has a lot of esteem for me. I am very good, I now have my bearings here, my priority, so it is to prolong “had also recalled the right -hander of 1m96. However, despite this displayed will, the file remains in suspense.
An uncertainty mainly linked to the financial aspect. Winner of his second major trophy after the Euro with Italy in 2021 and more generally decisive in the European course of PSG, the number 1 of the red and blue has, in fact, still not found common ground with the Ile -de -France board. A financial disagreement also directly from the new salary policy implemented by the sports advisor Luis Campos, which is now based on performance. As a reminder, in Paris, part of the salary – which can represent up to a third of the players' income – depends on the number of matches played in a season and a system of levels establishes a variable remuneration: the more the player plays and is decisive, the more he wins.
Real, Bayern and City on the lookout
Arrived free in 2021, with an evolving salary over the seasons and currently estimated at around 10 million euros per year, Donnarumma is therefore now offered a distant salary of what he currently receives. An important blocking point even if the Italian international clan (72 selections) is confident. Indeed, if Luis Campos – with whom the interested party has been able to discuss in the past few weeks – access the requests of the former Milanese, the latter will extend his adventure in the city of Light. Otherwise, a departure during the summer is more than ever a possible option.
Targeted by many European cadors – Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid – the 26 -year -old goalkeeper has no shortage of pretenders. Aware of its popularity rating on the market, Donnarumma therefore did not hesitate to allow doubt about its future, which could be akin to a final stroke of pressure on Paris. It remains to be seen whether the different parties will be able to agree on the contractual level. A boiling file that should, anyway, be quickly settled, whether in one direction as in the other. As a reminder, if Donnarumma came to leave, PSG keeps, for its part, always an eye on Lucas Chevalier, currently under the colors of LOSC.
